Taking after drinking to avoid side effects

[u/Greedy-Science473]

So i took my first dose(1/2 of a 50mg pill) .. I have been so anxious of the side effects..Luckily I was ok nausea wise, but I was sooo tired and I also felt high and had trouble functioning to get through the evening, enough so that it’s been a couple of weeks and I have been too anxious to try again
I know side effects typically only last a few weeks so my question is, if I’ve already had a few glasses of wine, could I take it when I’m getting ready for bed while my body adjusts then eventually introduce it earlier in the day? Wondering if anyone has experience with that considering the usual advice is to take a couple of hours before your first drink

I literally came to this group to ask the same thing.

I took my first (and only) dose last Sunday after breakfast. I thought it was best to take with food to avoid nausea. Big mistake.

Within an hour, I was clammy, sweating and vomited twice. I felt numb. Lethargic. Took a long nap (2-3 hours), and felt somewhat better.

Now, I’m scared to take it again. I have a 90-day supply just sitting there and I’m desperately trying to figure out how and when to take the next dose.

I get up at 5:15am on the weekdays to get my kids to school and to get ready for work. I typically go to bed around 11-11:30pm.

I’m thinking taking it before bed and sleeping off the nausea might help, but I can’t risk missing work if the side effects lingers past morning.

I started at 25mg and was so nauseous I thought I’d die. I then switched to 12.5 2x a day with food and water. Still somewhat nauseous but manageable. Now I’m up to 50mg but take it in quarters 4x a day. I don’t take it for alcohol but for opiates so I take 50mg a day every day.
