Day 3 on Nal - Sleep issues & drinking improvements

Hey all,

I will say it works. It works in a weird way & I don't know to explain how as I'm still drinking but, already drinking less. A bottle that'd be gone in 2 nights has stretched evenly into a third & I don't take that for granted.

For the record, I'm small so don't compare units to me. Still, to go from a pint a night ~14 units (& still able to go further) to about 2/3's (Under 10) a pint a night is an improvement. I didn't understand that liquor may be harder to avoid than beer, so I may make that switch next time I buy a drink.

Side effects:

I am able to sleep 10 hours & feel like I slept 5 now. Nal is reported to kill REM sleep & yes. It does. No dreams & less restorative sleep. Because I habitually drink in the evenings this may be a problem, but I'm going to continue as it's inevitably less of a problem compared to the hangover I'd otherwise have.

Also, it's seriously affecting my temperament, I am way leveled out. I know that sounds like a positive but it's strange to respond somewhat flat constantly, regardless.

Otherwise, still gonna keep trying to make it work. My only question is, were I to drink in the morning tomorrow, would I want to be doing half doses night then morning to have a continued effect? I don't tend to drink in the morning but I was curious. Nal doesn't seem to be gone from my system until almost the next daily dose. It's generic instant release 50mg Nal.

Appreciate y'all.
