I don't know what I am doing, any more.  Selincro is not all that I wanted it to be.  Battle rages on.....

    Hi Aloangel, You have been given some very good advice, I hope it helps and that you can gradually get the benefit you desire.  I don't know if this will help, but when my alcohol worker suggested that Selincro might be suitable for me these were the reasons he gave:

    -I had already reduced my drinking (from 2-3 bottles of wine a day to 5-6 bottles a week with 2-3 days alcohol free), but I was struggling to maintain that level

    -I didn't drink every day

    -I didn't seem to get withdrawl issues

    -My aim was not complete astinence

    Sadly, I couldn't cope with the side effects, so I didn't persist with it.  You seem to be over the side effects, so I do hope you keep going.  Good luck
