anibuse / antabuse
« on: January 11, 2017, 11:10:34 PM »
  Any experience?  I'm considering asking my psych to prescribe.  I think if I could get a month or so away from alcohol I'd stop taking the antibuse & feel like I'd stay away on my own fairly easily.  Mostly wondering about withdrawls but they don't sound too serious.  Anyone use it for a brief period then continue on to stay sober on their own?

no personal experience, but my father took antabuse for years. he never experienced much in the way of side effects, and knowing that he'd get violently ill if he drank was a sufficient deterrent to keep him away from alcohol. after 5 or 6 years he stopped taking it and never went back to drinking. maybe it would help you do the same thing? good luck with whatever you decide to do, Moe!

freedom is nothing soft and sweet, it's beautiful and terrible. it's admitting everything that I don't want anyone to know. it's telling people that I love I stole from them when they weren't looking. it's fucking up so many times that they won't pick up when I call them.

I tried to get it RX'd before but the Dr wouldn't give it to me because of the side effects because alcohol is in so much stuff that people don't realize, i.e. hair spray, mouth wash, a lot of liquid medicine, etc..

That's good to know.  I'm pretty sure I don't use anything with alcohol.  I guess one needs to be cautious with food to, like be sure nothing is cooked with wine, etc.

Well done!
Antabus in no longer recommended as first choice from where I come from. First choice is medicine to minimize the craving.Also, but not least recommendations goes that antabus should not be the entire treatment so to say. Medical support should be additional to support i.e piers, therapy.

Glad to hear that the antabuse seems to be working for you. They are having great success with using Naltrexone for alcoholism. If you have Netflix look up the documentary one little pill. also, research the Sinclair method.

The way they describe it is that you take the Naltrexone while you continue to drink and that it's slowly reduces the craving and the effects of it. Of course, if you are also addicted to opiates Naltrexone is out of the question.

still haven't managed to get one day without drinking to resume antibuse.  11am, i've got a pint and a sixer of strong beer.  fucking hate this shit.  despite the fact I think all drugs should be legal, i wish this shit was illegal.  i should order a bunch of kratom.  what's the deal with the salmonella in kratom right now?

wish i could afford naltrexone, no insurance.

I don't know what your budget is, but month supply is about $30.00.  Not cheep, but you would save a lot by not buying booze.

I hope you feel better.  Active addiction is a bitch!

hatched a place to get 24hrs without booze so i could resume antibuse.  went & mowed sisters lawn for 6 hours yesterday and stayed overnight.  we hit the hot tub, smoked a bunch weed & sat by a fire outside.  took the antibuse this am, cleaned my filthy apartment, filled gas tank, stocked up on groceries & had enough left for a gram of shatter.  still have a few bucks until friday, thinking about grabbing some kratom for this evening.

went ahead & got some opms liquid concentrate.  i've tried it before but didn't get a lot out of it, we'll see.  plan on ordering some different stuff from mu on payday.  iguess they're hanging on or maybe they just paid up for while?  nice they're still here.
