Okay, in a nutshell - went to River Pharmacy and placed order for Campral. It took about 10 days to arrive.
I wanted to get several days of AF under my belt, but duh, if I could do that I won't need the Campral. So I managed one day of AF and started in the evening. I took only one pill. I was very gun shy. I tried Nalxatrone about 3 months ago and it was like being hit by a truck. I was so sick I couldn't move, my stomach, head, muscles all in torment. I thought I was going to die. I tried it several times. I simply could not take it. So I was nervous about the CP. One pill - no side affects, made it that evening without a drink.
Day 2 - one pill at 3p, one pill at 6p. Made it without a drink! no side effects - yeah!
Day 3 - one pill at 3p. Then 5p rolls around, the witching hour begans. That little voice inside my head starts talking about having a drink. I quick made dinner and at 6p took two pills. Within an hour the carving were lessening. It was amazing. A miracle.
For me to make it 4 days is unheard of and here I am. I haven't seen day 4 AF in years! I still had cravings but I could ignore them. My plan is to take 2 pills at 3p and 2pills at 6p and see how it goes. I only ever drink at night and only weigh a 100 pounds, so I don't think I need all 6 doses, but I'll just wait and see.
All I can say right now is I am so happy. So excited. This might actually work! I've been a heavy drinking, black-out drinker for 20 years. But I really want to make it. I really want to be AF. So I will work hard and take the meds.
Side-note: I was grumpy last night, which is completely normal on day three of not drinking. I rarely make it to day three and not beyond that because my nasty little brain gets pissed on day three and demands alcohol. I think its important not blame all potential side effect on the meds, and remember withdrawal symptoms can be ugly.
Also had a drinking dream last night. Ahh, the little addiction monster is getting very upset!! He is clearly pulling out all the stops to get me back in the bottel. I refuse to feed him!
