I have been on bac for about 7 or 8 weeks and am at 115 mg per day now. I still have minor cravings but am not drinking much anymore. I have not hit the switch but think I am getting close. For the last 8 days, I have had no more than a glass of wine in the evening. This change happened overnight. A week ago Sunday I was at 110 mg and was drinking every night and still passing out. Then a week ago Monday I suddenly had almost no craving. Since then I have been sober and have gone to bed each night sober. I still have some cravings. What a difference. I have posted this on other threads. Great progress with bac.
My question is what role can naltrexone play from here on out. I started it Dec 1 thinking I would have a head start with the Sinclair Method if I could not shake the somnolence I was having. I am wondering if I take it regularly one hour before I drink a glass of wine each night, will I be cured a la the Sinclair Method. So even if I hit the switch, force myself to drink one glass of wine a night after taking Nal, will I be cured using the Sinclair Method and then be able to titrate down off of the Bac. The idea is to not be taking Bac for the rest of my life but instead using Nal when I want to have a drink. Does Nal work with such a small amount of alcohol intake? Or does it only work with large amounts of alcohol intake? Does anyone know of any info about that?
I wonder if anyone has tried this combination of bac and nal or if it is even something I should consider. I am just trying to see if can have the best of both worlds. Maybe it is not something I should even consider. Any thoughts?
Thanks. :thanks:
