Strictly Sinclair Week 2

Wow. Supporting eachother? If we can't talk about our dark times, how can we appreciate the results if/when they come? What I got from the book is that people like me were ideal candidates. The deperavation effect was a huge factor in my inability to stop. That's why extinction made sense to me. Of course we take a chance! But my first stint in rehab 21 yrs ago, 2 trips to detox and 2 outpatient treatments just last year, what did I have to lose? Let's be kind to eachother. We're hard enough on ourselves. We're all here cause we've tried everything else. Not cause we want some easy way out. Good luck everyone.

I did the same thing and upped to 75mg for awhile, and for me it was very helpful. I'm back down to 50mg (sometimes just 25mg) and now that amount works well for me. Good luck...don't give up.
Did you take 150mg once daily while in treatment, or split up?

In treatment it was prescribed for craving, along with campral. It was 3 x's a day, even intervals. Stopped working after about 3 wks, so ended up doing Sinclair without intent initially. Never did up the dose. Am finally able to postpone drinking til early eve, so take Nal accordingly.
