Got deathly sick from too much scotch about 10yrs ago, never poured another glass. Instead it would be only wine and beer.

Got deathly sick from too much scotch about 10yrs ago, never poured another glass. Instead it would be only wine and beer. I have a very active lifestyle and eat healthily at home, but then I realized I was drinking beer every night. Started as a few, went to a six, on Monday I had 10. 10-14 was my new normal. Heard about the Sinclair method on TED Talks. Forgot about it until yesterday when I had a doctors appt. I asked him to prescribe it and he did. Yesterday (Valentine's Day) was day one. I took the pill at 3:30 thinking I'll probably start my usual drinking routine at 5. Instead I ended up going for a three-hour bike ride and didn't get home till 6:30. Cleaned up, got comfortable and opened a beer. It was nearly 7PM. First one I noticed a change in my taste buds and the obsessions seemed to be quieted, but had a second and a third and a fourth ... uh oh.. am I one of the few people who doesn't respond? Please let it not be so. Went back and read Sinclair and he says take it one hour before. Today, I took it at 4 and then opened a beer an hour later. I just threw the other half of that first beer in the sink. It's 9PM. No obsession. It's really like a switch was turned off. In addition, I'm also not obsessing about eating or my ex-boyfriend (who I recently had a difficult break-up with). Sorry for rambling but I don't know what to think! I'm so excited but also afraid it won't work tomorrow.. (I'll get over that). Go now and get these pills. Take them ONE HOUR before your first drink... which might just be your last one. Thank you science and psychology and medicine. Go save your life.

I've tried 3 times to post a review but it doesn't seem to be working. Or I may look later and see all of them. LOL! So I'll stop now.

just started with an old script and have beers left but don't really want any? Can this be the help I looked for for all these years?

What in the WORLD is going on, here? After 12 years of drinking virtually every day (moderate to extreme amounts) and desperately wanting to quit, I finally made it in to see my GP. I am the worlds most sinister alcoholic. No DUI, no legal problems, generally stayed out of embarrassing situations, successful professional and a complete and total drunk. Drink in the mornings, throughout the day and when night came it was almost always 'full tilt.' In a matter of less than 24 hours my life has been completely transformed. I am on the verge of a deep depression - not because this isn't a miracle drug - but because I didn't reach out sooner. I took my first pill while drinking - celebrating (hopefully) quitting and within 30 minutes I had ZERO desire to continue. Woke up hung over this morning, PERFECT - almost necessary/mandatory - 'Hair of the Dog' morning and I have absolutely no cravings whatsoever. The only time alcohol has crossed my mind today is the constant monitoring of when the cravings would return. There are none. Zero. In fact, the thought of drinking tonight elicits a 'yuck' response. This is unprecedented. I have had anxiety today, zero appetite, 'brick in stomach' feeling and some general weird 'heady' feeling, but I have also had a general sense of peace. The anxiousness has almost felt physical. I think I might be in slight denial some of this is withdrawal symptoms, not the medication side effects. I cannot believe how I feel at the moment: a complete and utter indifference towards the thing/monster that has plagued me these years. It's unbelievable. I hope and pray this doesn't end and continues to work for me. I will definitely report back in the coming weeks.

I drink (drank) the equivalent of 6-10 beers a night 7 nights a week. I could go 2-3 days alcohol free but no more. I ordered naltrexone online to see if it would help. Felt like crap for several days, very tired, no concentration, etc. Then did some research online and found those are side effects of quitting drinking in general.

Felt like crap for several days, very tired, no concentration, etc. Then did some research online and found those are side effects of quitting drinking in general. So its really impossible to know if your side effects are from the drug, or your body adjusting to no alcohol. But bottom line is, for me, I didn't feel like drinking. I don't want to stop drinking all together. I want to socially have a glass of wine or a couple beers with friends. Now I can. Its only been three weeks, but I can go out with friends and have one beer not want more and more. Not sure if that will work for everyone, but its working exactly the way I'd hoped.
