My Doc just wrote me a script for Naltrexone today so I’ve been binge watching your channel. I haven’t taken the medication yet, will prolly start next week when I get more info but I love this channel so far. You have a beautiful soul and I feel fortunate to have found this channel. I don’t want to quit drinking completely, just want to cut back, especially during the week. Thanks so much for your hard work.
Embody Daily, do you think a letter writing campaign to The Joe Rogan Experience podcast contact page would be a good idea? His podcasts reach millions, and he's an ethical dude. I bet if we can get through the gate keeper he'd be into doing an interview with Claudia, maybe you and a science person too. Literally hundreds of thousands of people of people would be reached in one swing. What do you think?
It's wild how relatable these stories are for me. What I find so weird is the realization there is no "me". Part of my brain is 100% compliant with taking Naltrexone. There is another part that is more primal and wants the booze, and will even influence my planning. But somehow it's not even aware of the "me" that is feeding it Naltrexone.
I’ve been told to ease into the medication so take half for the first few times and then full 50mg which makes sense to me as took it for the first time yesterday and really still feeling bad. Only one beer though so I’m happy about that. Don’t care that I feel bad otherwise. I’m going to take 25mg for the next five times and then take full 50 from there
Hi Katie, I hope you see this. I've been taking Naltrexone for a week now and it's done wonders. I notice I have bad insomnia and some anger and very mild visual disturbances (if that's the right words) do this side effects go away at some point?
I went to the C3foundation but no drs in my area how else can you find someone to prescribe this? What is this clinic she mentioned? Please post this info
OK, let me understand this. When a person has drank for some time and starts the sinclaire method... After taking the medication and drinking, thinking that the drinking will slow and it doesn't"t at the beginning. The signs of drinking seem to be more obvious. Gee, I am not sure if this question even makes sense.
The Sinclair Method works by blocking a variety of opiate receptors, to different degrees, in the brain. When someone with Alcohol Use Disorder drinks, endorphins (our bodies internally produced morphine like substance) are released. The opiate receptors of the alcoholic are like superhighways and the endorphins stimulate a huge "reward" signal/sensation. Alcohol also interacts with the GABA receptors, and it's the interaction with the GABA receptors that makes a person drunk ie slurred speech, loss of motor control, etc. Naltrexone blocks the opiate receptors, like a baseball in a catchers mitt, and doesn't allow the endorphins to trigger the reward sensation. It's the interaction of endorphins with the opiate receptors that is the origin of alcohol addiction. Naltrexone does not block the GABA receptors, so the alcohol molecules still interact with the GABA receptors and the person still gets drunk. But the addictive reward mechanism of alcohol use is shut down. Overtime, with repetition, the brain unlearns the addiction. It will no longer associate alcohol with the endorphin reward. This is called pharmacological extinction. This is the mechanism through which the Sinclair method breaks alcohol addiction. 80% success rate.
no, I've seen people who drink a 1/2 gallon of vodka a day do well with this method. It doesn't work for 100% of people, but it works for about 78%. I hope that helps!

I submitted something to him!!
I’d love that! I hope he contacts Katie and Claudia.
I think that's an excellent idea as well Ben...
Great job!!!!!!
Andrea is lovely! Thank you for your input!

Does Andrea take it every day, or 1 hour before a drink
1 hour before :)
Is there a podcast with conversations?
I'm not sure if there is a TSM podcast... that'd be great! I just publish the interviews on UA-cam. :)
Stigma is what she wanted to say I’m sure. I already forgot her name. Our memory....

hello, so sorry for the delay in responding. how are you doing now? The side effects do go away in most cases... curious how you are now...
I went to the C3foundation but no drs in my area how else can you find someone to prescribe this? What is this clinic she mentioned? Please post this info

@@Bshipbuilder Extremely well explained Ben Builder! Thank you providing 'the mechanism behind the method' that I can now share with others!
Are there fewer success stories and less chance of success with chronic alcoholics ?
no, I've seen people who drink a 1/2 gallon of vodka a day do well with this method. It doesn't work for 100% of people, but it works for about 78%. I hope that helps!
@@thrivealcoholrecovery thank you for replying x
The doctor taking care of our loved one would not prescribe naltrexone.
Wrong doctor 🥼
