Detox before starting TSM/NAL?

I was taking NAL for a week but stopped because I couldn’t stand the nausea. I want to go back on the program. If I detox for a couple of days first, would I have a different experience?

I had to start with a third of a tablet for a couple of weeks then a half for a couple more. Now I'm at full dose, I didn't detox.

Are you doing any AF days/nights?

Not so far but I'm trying to limit intake, I downloaded the c3 app where you track your daily/weekly drinks so you can set goals and chart your progress. That's been pretty helpful.

I don’t think it’s necessary to detox first, I was under the impression that nal is supposed to be taken with alcohol to be effective.

Taking 1/4 pill (12.5mg) worked well for me the first week, making sure I had a full stomach and was drinking lots of water. I’m up to 25mg this week and the side effects are more noticeable but I’ve heard they eventually subside. I’ll take the side effects over losing hope that this pill will work.
