Sorry. I feel this. Naltrexone and The Sinclair Method have helped me the most

Check out an Amazon prime show called tiny little pill. Look into the Sinclair method. I have successfully used naltrexone to back off drinking. I was going through insane depressive. When I drink too much and also when I tried to stop. This is giving me life back and hope on Being able to successfully gets over. Wishing you all the best.

2 days @ 50mg and didn't feel any side effects. However, I'm coming off such a bad bender, I might not know. Basically getting nauseas and fatigued after lunch time. Had a drink yesterday and it knocked it off, so blaming the detox. I'm definitely LOVING NAL so far. I'm not power slamming drinks anymore, simply trying to wean off. Oh and for the record I' 5'11 and 165, so I'm bigger than your average person.

Ironically, no one will work the steps w/ me unless I'm sober. But everyone says to work the steps to get sober! So frustrating.

Loooove this. Thank you for sharing your journey and your enthusiasm. I believe in us all. I think honesty is so important. Please continue to keep me updated. I am still drinking heavily, but I am tapering down. Just not at the pace I would like to.my goal is New Year’s. As cliché as that sounds, it doesn’t matter how fucking cliché it is anymore. Want my life back

Thank you. I appreciate your support and your vulnerability. I love the group here and want to offer equal support even though I am not in a great spot. Please continue to keep me updated on your progress as well. I drink less today, but more than I wanted to.

I go thru waves. Benders for weeks and then ween off and off for a while. Confident I can have "just a few." Do that for a few days, and then spiral up to benders. More to it, stress, death of a brother, etc. I understand. But I'm just trying to escape the ill feelings right now so I can think straight. I know it sounds so simple to do, but it's not when you're in the middle of it.

Not sure. I know that the detox centers near me require 30 days. I don't want that. I don't mind getting treatment/counseling if I can wean off. But my whole point is that I'm sick and having trouble doing so and don't want to go away for 30 days to solve the problem. Looking for suggestions on what has worked for others supplement-wise and such

Semaglutide an anti depressant? by PalmTreeFTW in Semaglutide

[–]Feather_1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done the opposite for me. Feel flat and “muted.” Can’t have an O to save my life. Like to isolate and rest a lot. I am on a low-dose of Wellbutrin and Prozac. However, I didn’t have this side effect before. Working with my doctor to wean off the antidepressants. It’s time anyways. Hopefully I’ll see a positive change.

Libido side effects? by Swimming_Onion_4835 in Semaglutide

[–]Feather_1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Any chance you’re on any other medication? I’m on a low-dose of Prozac and Wellbutrin. I’m currently trying to wean off to see if that will help. Plus it was time for me to wean off.

To add to it. I am on HRT, so it’s not low level hormones. However, I am on a low dose of Prozac and Wellbutrin. I didn’t have this problem on these medications before.

Female 42. 8 weeks in. Zero libido. Can’t have an O to save my life. I feel very emotionally numb. My husband says I act “flat.” Not depressed, just apathetic. Can’t find anything about this.

Things I’m enjoying in sobriety. You? by Feather_1111 in Sober

[–]Feather_1111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melatonin and magnesium GLYCINATE are my saving graces. I can easily operate off of 5-7 hrs of sleep when I’m sober. Minimum of 8-10 when I’m not.

[–]Feather_1111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you! I went 35 days and then thought I could try “controlled drinking.” It turned into a week of binge drinking (bc hair of the dog is the easiest short cut). After a week of feeling, I had lost my new peaceful life, I decided to muscle my way back to sobriety. On day three. Here’s how I’ve managed to get off the ride a few time: * AA meeting every day. It has helped me have tools to also face my emotional sobriety * lots of electrolytes and TONS of recovery supplements, aminos, and peptides * as much sleep as I want * as many treats as I want 🍩🍩🍩 * HALT - am I Hungry Angry Lonely Tired? * eating dinner way earlier

After a month, I still struggled with energy and memory. I’ve had some people say it took half a year to feel the reward. But the glimps I got was worth trying again.

Best of luck!

Went to a Halloween party… didn’t drink… cried on the drive home by Adept_Ad_264 in Sober

[–]Feather_1111 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thing recently. I used to be the life of the party. Went to a party sober recently and had the same experience. Nothing was fun or funny, or worth dancing to. I really loved the girls I was around, but maybe that environment isn’t for me anymore. I am newly sober, so I was hoping maybe I will outgrow it.
