Day 14 - It happened again. I went to a very fancy dinner with my hubby. I couldn't resist ordering a glass of wine. I left the resturant with a little left in the glass. Normally for me I would be drinking glass after glass as fast as I could concerned I'm not going to get my fill in before dinner is over.

This time the thought did cross my mind to order another one, but I easly taked myself out of it.

I'm at 80mg. Going to stay at that. The side effects are still hard, but I really really want this! I'm interested to see when I'm AF free for a while and Ambien free for a while, how I will feel.

Good news on all counts, Brittany! Glad to hear it.

I remember clearly sleeping all day, or at least until it was time to start drinking. (I never drank in the morning...I just slept until the afternoon when I could. )

Encouraging to hear. The SE's should diminish after a while if you are able to stay at the same dose. Don't expect it to happen overnight though.

I just unconsciously looked for the "like" button under your post, Ne.

Day 15 - Happened again! We had people over for dinner at the last minute last night. Of course, they bring wine. What thoughtful house guests, right? I had one glass and was done. That being said, I had to really think about it and talk myself out of it. That worried me, but at the same time, how could I possibly have forgetten how bad it use to be (like a week ago?). Before I couldn't have talk myself out of a drink! I would have driven to the store to buy more after they left. I made it, one drink is a huge huge huge accomplishement.

SE - all good, except a ringing and swooshing sound in my ears. If I could get that to go away, I can do the rest. Has anyone else had this?

I want this! Stuck in LA - that is funny!

Yes, greathopebrittany,

I've had the same whooshing in my ears. It'll most likely clear.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

It's pretty common. I also heard Skype-like beeps all the time. It will pass.

OMG! Im so glad so many of you commented on the ringing in the ears. I was worried.

Happened again tonight. My daughter had a paly date, when I went to pick her up I was offered wine. Had one glass and was done.

Hating the SE, but clearly it's working.
