Not Working
Made no difference.
Not Working
The first hours after starting N. I had a strange perceptual change that even my girlfriend (at the time) noticed. It's hard to describe but I could definitely feel something different, and it was immediate for me -- within hours. But within a week I had developed a tolerance for it and was back to drinking. I tried it again a few weeks later and there was no effect.
Not Working
Revia worked for a bit but then I stopped taking the pills so that I can get high.
Not Working
Well, it made me projectile vomit frequently, even when I didn't drink. I was only taking half the dose, too.
Not Working
It worked -ish, but made my stomach really upset in the mornings.
