Is the fatigue a side effect, PAWS or normal?
I quit 60 days ago with the help of disulfiram. I loved it because it gave me no choice; the option to drink was completely off the table. However, I'm still exhausted. Low energy. Not wanting to do much of anything. Still not feeling clear headed. Sleep is improving but isn't great. I know this is a possible side effect of disulfiram, but this also may be expected even after 8 weeks. I'm obviously concerned that this is just my new normal (I'm also perimenopausal). I've read that both acamprosate and gabapentin can help if this is all due to PAWS. I happen to have leftovers of both (acamprosate never helped reduce my drinking and I only took gabapentin for the acute withdrawals). I'm open to suggestions! I've alway skipped the disulfiram for 3 days and no change yet... I was going to give it a week (metabolites should be gone by then but the effect lasts 10-14 days).
