I have been taking NAL for a month now, and I've gone off my food, and riddled with knots in my tummy.

Anyone else experienced this?

Summer - I have no idea if it is the Nal or not - I have not experienced anxiety but have had really bad nights sleep - I tend to not sleep well when I have been drinking anyway but it seems to have gotten worse since I started the Nal. I have no idea if that which you are experiencing is a SE - but hopefully someone else can offer some help? Can you meditate ? That should help you if you can.

Has your drinking reduced?Anxiety and edginess is a normal symptom when reducing alcohol intake, especially if you are also learning to deal with things without getting blotto.

I had major anxiousness as a side effect in the first week or two but now the only anxiety is from alcohol that I have always had the next day after drinking.

Thank you, I have some mild sleepers but they don't do much. I've tried everything. My knot has subsided a bit, maybe it was last weekend I was worked up about as I was staying with a heavy drinking friend. But I survived, and didn't get drunk!! Result!

It sounds as if the possible staying with the friend might have caused the knots if you were worried about it and didn't realise it ! I am so glad that it worked out for you - well done - must have been such a relief !

If the knot IS the Nal, then hopefully it will subside with time ....

Thanks UK, that possibly is it!

Survival is good
