    The Switch

    I'm not there yet I don't think but i feel like I'm really close and here's why,

    Sunday morning I took 10mg of bac and went to the market put my bags in the car and took a cig out and I took a puff. I pull out of the parking lot and by the time I get to the corner my head is spinning and I mean spinning fast I pulled over into a grave yard to get my thoughts togather because at that moment I could not drive. So I'm praying real hard for God to let me make it home which is right around the corner. Now mind you I was dead sober nothing in my system but bac and birth control. So I'm driving home with one eye closed to try and stop the spinning I pull up in my drive way damn near fall up the steps. Went in the house and sat on the sofa I left the keys, the food everything in the car. This was way worst then any hangover.

    My husband gets the bags and of course we all know the look, the you have been drinking "look" i almost started crying and I told him "smell my breath, my hair , my clothes I haven't touched a thing I don't know what is wrong with me" he told me to go lay down and before I did I took another 10mg of bac. I went to sleep and when I woke up the spinning stop but my head was feeling huge. I took another 10mg and went to sleep a few hours later. Monday I woke up and I felt indifferent after work I didn't really have a craving to stop to the "candy" store. I just kept driving. I'm at 40mg I just started that amount yesterday. I don't know what Sunday was about but something inside changed. i refuse to believe that such a lil amount 30mg could have that effect. Maybe because my drinking heavy was only about 11 months , maybe because of my weight IDK something is different.

    Your experience sounds a bit scary, actually... I never experienced anything remotely like that. Maybe titrate up at a slower pace, in increments of 5mg at a time?

    As for the switch: I can remember when I got to higher doses (at aorund 200mg plus) I would often simply forget to buy wine when I stopped at the supermarket. The thought just didn't cross my mind until later in the evening.

    I didn't reach total indifference before 270mg, though.

    If you're experiencing that kind of effect at such a low dose, I'm very happy for you! You'll know soon enough whether its the real thing or not.
    I'll do whatever it takes

      Sorry to hear about the SEs. You must have been very frightened. I know I would have been. I agree with Tip. You might consider backing up just a tad, then titrating up at smaller increments. Though your dose is so low right now as it is.

      Did you have anything to eat that morning? I fainted once last summer (on a beach of all places!) while on Naltrexone and not having enough water in my system. So I guess any interaction is possible.

        I didn't eat anything that morning or drink a lot of water maybe that was it

          Fallons,
          It may have happenned for you at that dose! I am somewhat like you in that I had only been a daily drinker for about a year, and I stopped at about 30-40mg. I did go up to 60 but no further. I hope that is the case for you! Probably a good idea though to have breakfast and drink fluids.
          I hope this is congratulations... weird isnt it?

                          Keep in mind that bac affects your blood sugar, so if you don't eat it can cause problems. It raises your blood sugar slightly. Also, I had the same effect with smoking and bac...it made me have the WORST hangover from one cigarette. Something about bac and cigarettes just doesn't mix! Which is a good thing!

                            Bac did absolutely nothing for my smoking... (even at 270)

                            Neither did Wellbutrin (Zyban)...

                            Grrrrr...........
