Anyone have a history of taking this to assist in getting off alcohol? I started today at 50mg.
I am feeling extremely irritated and down this evening. I am not sure if it is the medication, the idea of nothing fun to do without a drink, or both.

Go for a walk or workout. Or grab something carbonated. Tends to help with a lot of people.

Try a few months of Reta. Helps big time with addiction and cravings

Don’t think I am after trying other ways. Lot of ppl fighting the same issue for it to be a simple fix.

Head to an AA meeting brother. I’ve got over two years sober. Replace the alcohol with community. You’ve got this. Don’t know about your question, though.

How you doing so far? It's gonna suck for a bit but if it was easy everyone would do it.

So far not terrible, 3 days and only 2 beers that I just drank for no reason. Normally would have done about 24 in the same timeframe. Thanks for checking.

I don't recall being irritable when I first started taking it, but I was coming off a few substances at the time, so my emotions were all over the place.

I tried using it several years ago. I can't say it helped one way or the other. But I wasn't using it as a way to quit. I was trying to negotiate with myself so I could keep drinking, just less.
I quit alcohol 312 days ago. It wasn't easy. It was difficult. There are moments and days where it still is.
But it's also the best thing I've ever done for myself. I will encourage anyone who will listen to stop consuming alcohol. I'm a better person, partner, father, etc. because I don't drink anymore.
But I still need something to take its place, and I don't mean substances. I need something to do, because cravings come when boredom sets in. Keeping busy helps a lot, especially in the beginning. Hell, I have to keep myself busy now, almost a year later.
But I encourage you to keep it up. Alcohol is an addictive poison and it's very good at its job. I was fat, out of shape, always exhausted and it cost me my marriage of almost 25 years. Fast forward to now, I'm in the best shape of my life, I'm the healthiest I've ever been, my mind is clear, I have energy for days and I just got engaged to the love of my life.
The thought of ever giving up alcohol was laughable to me at one point. Now I can't imagine the thought of giving up everything I have now.

Keep it up brother. You're taking care of yourself and it will be beyond beneficial for you. Good job.
