Complete waste of money (and lots of it). I’d this helps as many people as have submitted reviews then I’m delighted for them. In my experience, the medication had no effect whatsoever in reducing cravings (I tried two different ones). The ‘guidance and support’ consisted of gimmicky suggestions that anyone with an addiction would recognise as insufficient (such as, ‘find a drink to replace your favourite alcoholic drink’. Well I’d not thought of that before). After spending nearly £1000 to no effect, I was given the option of spending yet more on another drug, though this would entail incurring an additional cost for another medical consult in order to obtain the prescription. After given this option, I never heard from them again, no follow-up even as a courtesy. This does seem to be more about making money that helping people.
In response to your reply, I was an indeed aware that there was a risk that the approach might not work and have not claimed that I was misled in this respect. It was more that I felt like the priority was to keep tapping me for more money even though it clearly was not working for me (despite my strictly adhering to all advice and instructions). For example, the requirement that I pay another £135 consulting fee to have another prescription issued without being given the information I needed to make the judgement about whether a third medication stood any greater chance of efficacy. You may recall that I asked whether the proposed drug worked in the same way as the first two as if the answer was yes, it seemed pointless to keep taking drugs that were not working for me. I was told that you couldn’t answer the question as you were not medically qualified, which meant that the only way to obtain the answer was to pay the additional fee. I felt it would be a simple matter for you to ask the prescribing doctor this question or provide me with an email address so I could ask, without incurring a £135 charge. Additionally, if the alternative medication does work in the same way as the previous two, I question why it would be suggested in the first place given the unlikelihood that it would be any more effective.

The Sinclair Method has been highly effective in helping me achieve my objective of quitting alcohol completely. The Naltrexone ensured that as I tapered down my alcohol consumption, the absence of any buzz from the alcohol meant that I never felt the urge to keep on drinking from a glass of wine to several bottles, as previously.
Enormous thanks to everyone at TSM for their kind and informative support throughout the whole process, which has given me back my life.

I'm an Advanced Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist working in alcohol and addiction daily.
I had my own issues with alcohol over an 8 year period. I must say that nothing has been even remotely as effective as Naltrexone for removing the link between alcohol and reward.
There are early side effects, those went away swiftly for me, leaving just the very potent (and quite unusual) effect of feeling the harm that alcohol always does, without any of the pleasure.
The naltrexone works by unlinking the connection between the reward centre of your brain and the substance. After following the steps accurately, I was able to eradicate any form of cravings, and for me this happened with smoking too, posisbly because the two for me are connected, more research is being done on that.
I highly recommend Joanna and the Sinclair Method to anyone who really seriously wishes to end their relationship with alcohol.
What I would add is that you need to commit to this and follow it properly. Stretching the rules and skipping steps does not work.
Good luck!

I started TSM in January, and I've been pretty blown away by its effectiveness.
For me, the struggle was that as soon as I’d my first sip of wine, I’d already be thinking about the next. Over the years, this led to messy nights and an awful lot of anxiety.
TSM has helped change that. I'm now finding I'm able enjoy a glass socially without the persistent urge for more. This me a sense of peace as I can actually look forward to a drink with pals without the fear things will spiral.
Just as importantly, the team have been great. Adrian’s warmth and encouragement has meant I've felt truly supported. Highly recommended.

Really supportive staff, quick to respond to queries and made it very easy to get the support I was seeking

The Sinclair Method and their contacts have been amazing. The process has been seemless with lots of advice back up and any questions answered immediately. I really don't know why more people are not made aware of the fantastic alternative that they offer. I can't recommend them and their methods more highly.

I was hesitant at first to believe that there could be such a simple, non-judgmental answer to the problem of drinking - let's say - more than one would like! And if it there was, why hadn't I heard about it before. Happy to rate my experience with The Sinclair Method and confirm that it is in straightforward, non-intrusive and requires no willpower at all to bring your alcohol consumption down to modest to negligible levels. I truly believe everyone should know about this

This has completely changed my life, as I can still socialise as and when I need to but also stay in complete control.
Adrian is fantastic and a great beacon of support. If you are struggling with alcohol, contact him. You will not regret it.

I reached out to the Sinclair team after trying every other option. The results thus far have been amazing. My consumption has reduced considerably. Such a helpful and encouraging team.

I started the Sinclair method mid-December. I have had unhealthy habits with alcohol since my teens and whilst I wouldn't classify myself as an "alcoholic," I most definitely can admit that I have AUD.
I work in hospitality and drinking is part of the culture. 2024 was a heavy, eye-opening year for me. I found myself going out, whether it be for work events or catch ups with friends, telling myself I will only have 2 and stumbling home, waking up the next morning not remembering how I got into my bed. After stressful work meetings, I would go to the pub and have a drink to blow off steam. Before stressful work meetings, I'd drink with lunch. Every night, I'd drink and use the excuse that I was studying for my Level 3 Wines. The truth is, I really couldn't stop THINKING about wine. Every single situation in my life was revolving around it and I ended up hating myself the following day with immense hangxiety and horrific hangover. I lost days of my life - precious moments with my son - to alcohol. It was at the end of the year where I, once again, went overoard during a Christmas lunch party. Lunch turned into more wine at a hotel bar and the rest is a pretty bleak story. The next morning, I was so ashamed of myself and knew I had to make a change. It was time.
I had read about the Sinclair Method and had previously reached out but decided at the time not to go through with it. This time was different though. I knew that this was what I needed to do to get my AUD under control.
From day one, I felt so much more in control. Adrian and the team have been absolutely incredible at being there through the entirety of the process. Whether that's via email or phone, they are there unconditionally, which is what you need when you are going through this exprience of trying to better yourself.
One little pill is all it has taken to completely change my outlook on alcohol. Although it has only been a short time that I've been doing the Sinclair Method, the results have been life changing.
I was an "early responder," and whilst at the beginning I found myself thinking about alcohol loads, this has dissipated and I have filled my life with so many other wonderful things now that I am not consumed by it.
Whenever I go out, I take my pill and have one or two. I don't even crave another one. I drink infinitely less - I went alcohol free nearly the entirety of January and the difference in my mood, skin, disposition, everything has truly been changed for the better. I am happier, calmer, clearer, able to think through things more rationally, carry on thoughtful conversations, read more, learn more.
Yes, there have been moments where I have been extremely stressed where I would love a glass to take the edge off but I am recognising the trigger patterns and addressing them accordingly.
To anyone who is considering the Sinclair Method and wanting to truly change their relationship with alcohol, I urge you to take the plunge. You will not regret it. I really do believe it has changed my life and will continue to help me make better decisions in the future.
I truly hope that one day The Sinclair Method is more widely available because it would help so many people in need. Addiction is real and alcohol can take a hold over your mind - The Sinclair Method knocks that lizard out of your brain for good as long as you stay compliant.
Thank you to Adrian and the team for being a wonderful source of support. It is with gratitude and sincere thanks that I write this review.

The team at Sinclair have been really friendly and helpful. The pills are a miracle - they make such a difference- it’s ludicrous that the NHS don’t use these to treat people with.

Reply from Sinclair Method UK Ltd
Quick, polite and helpful communication from the team. Lots of information which helped me understand the treatment.
Reassuring assessment and review of my case made me feel I was in good hands.
Good follow up and support following commencement. Thank you!

The staff took all necessary suitability checks and 121 discussions with clarity. I liken my experience to Ozempic for weight loss, the medication had immediate results and significantly reduced my alcohol consumption. After over 10 years of having a party for one every night with a bottle of wine (because i felt i deserved it), the quest for a reward at the end of each day has gone immediately.

I reached out to the Sinclair Method as I did not have an addiction to alcohol, would often go weeks without drinking - but once I did I was all in and had a switch that was impossible to turn off.
I read about the Sinclair Method and it sounded like the perfect fit for me, so decided to give it a go. Following a lovely conversation I was prescribed the tablets and I have not looked back. I have now had a number of repeat prescriptions and this has enabled me to enjoy 'normal' nights out without fear of going too far.
Yes, they are not 'magic' pills and does require you to meet them halfway, but if I can do it, anyone can. I would now not be without them.

Following recent UK media coverage, I took the plunge with TSM.
Their methodologies are evidence-backed and the program has been excellent so far.
I am a firm believer in the combination of science, support, processes coupled with self-determination that are delivering a real transformation for me away from alcohol.
I heartily recommend the TSM UK team for their dedication to bring this program into the mainstream awareness

I have spent the last decade, or longer, attempting to drink in moderation. I've tried everything: read a library full of books on the subject, including the highly informative The Naked Mind; gone on residential meditation and yoga retreats; kept a journal; paid £2k for a six week one on one 'stop drinking' course and, in my darkest moments, I've prayed. But, in the long term, nothing has worked and I've gone back to a pattern of all (all being a bottle of wine a night) or nothing which has been both emotionally and physically exhausting. But from taking my first pill under the caring and utterly professional guidance of Adrian and the Sinclair Method team, it felt completely different. I have only been taking Natrexone for a month but have absolutely no hesitation in writing this review as my cravings have completely vanished. I'm still drinking in moderation but only socially and then it's only a couple of drinks. It's as if someone has waved a magic wand and I'm in the middle of a fairy tale: the princess - me; wicked witch - alcohol, and the handsome prince (one kiss from) - Natrexone. It really has taken zero effort and, believe me, I know what putting the effort in is (see above). You just need the desire to stop/cut down. I feel strongly that this drug should be freely available. Coincidentally I recently met an NHS doctor working in a drugs and alcohol clinic. I mentioned Natrexone to her and she said they used it to stop cravings but it seemed 'counter-intuitive' to use it alongside drinking. As we met at a social event I didn't reveal the fact I was taking the drug, so couldn't really advise her otherwise, and therein lies one of the problems as I believe it is only licensed in this country to be used along abstinence as an anti craving medication. Anyway, I am so so grateful to have been given this opportunity and would advise anyone to sign up without hesitation. It really is the kindest thing you can do for yourself.

I saw this in an article in the Times and thought I would give it a go. I was expecting it to be hard work to get engagement given the rush of interest following the article but Adrian and his team were very efficient and the whole process incredibly easy. It has proven to be very effective for me and has significantly improved my quality of life so for anyone needing to make a change, I would highly recommend it.

I’ve now been on the Sinclair Method for about three months and I almost can’t believe the extent to which my cravings and the desire to drink have faded. I now have more drink-free days in a week than I do days where I’m drinking. Previously, it took a lot of effort to resist cravings when I was abstaining from drinking, but now I find drink-free days almost effortless. Everyone’s experience with the method is different, from what I’ve read, so for me I still think I have another few months before the desire to drink is totally gone (‘extinction’) but this is fine by me, as although I have some way to go, the improvement in my quality of life already has been incredible!
The method has been life-changing for me, and it would not have been possible without the support of Sinclair Method UK. They took care of everything from doctor’s appointments and prescriptions and providing excellent support, encouragement and tips to make the most of the method. I cannot recommend them, and Adrian in particular, highly enough!

The team are kind, professional and knowledgeable. The tablets have been amazing at resetting my relationship with alcohol. I am relieved and delighted. I have recommended this approach to 3 friends who also have a very unhealthy relationship with alcohol. AJ
