Anyone on or starting a naltrexone journey?

[ohthejoysoftoddler]

I'm hoping to start naltrexone next week, I'm nervous but excited to get started. Anyone else on the journey and wants to share?

Hi @tinyem77 - did you use the drinklessmethod.co.uk site?

hi @Smarty43 how are you getting on?

It’s going really well thank you! I got my tablets from a new provider, lovemylife.com. The doctor emails me now and again asking how I’m doing and it’s £99 for the tablets after an initial video consultation. If any one is interested, I find it affordable this way. I do miss a nice wine, some of my usual wines taste horrible now but some are bearable. And at stressful times I need to now work on finding an alternative method of relief as I used to just numb myself with wine. I’m having lots of alcohol free days, or I will buy a small can of wine and a lot of it ends up down the sink. Just habit to want one still.

@Smarty43 that’s great news! And thanks for the website, that looks great and more affordable. Im just waiting on my liver test results then hoping to get started and on the road to a cleaner life! Thanks for sharing and hope you have continued success x

Hello! Can I join. I did the Sinclair Method call and was prescribed Nal two years ago. Paid a fair bit too …

What did I do? Convinced myself that my Mounjaro was doing the job of reducing my desire for alcohol. Which is did sort of ….

But not on Mj at more. And my food and alcohol consumption is really out of control. Last night drank 4 large cans of beer having said I’d only have the one. The minute I start I want more and I deliberately delay eating to enjoy the buzz …I love being alone to drink how I choose. Probs undx ADHD and peri isn’t helping ..

So - going to start today with a 1/4 tablet as have a late lunch. Yes the tabs are slightly out of date but plan to get more. Need to then get a fresh prescription.

Good to read this thread for inspiration.
