Antabuse helped keep me sober for a long time. I had no side effects. I no longer take it as I'm reasonably confident about not drinking. Anything that helps is worth a try.

If you have been given sedatives such as librium or valium etc then you will feel drowsy.

hi hunni, yes i have used antabuse for a long time. It worked really well for me but as it says on the packet.. DO NOT DRINK ON IT or you could end up in hospital. If you have any questions.. feel free to pm me!

Hi Mariec, yes I took it when I started trying to be sober - it was about 2 weeks before christmas 2009 and I knew christmas was probably not going to be sober on my own, so I took it for about 3 weeks and it was a brilliant kickstart. I agree with lil.michelle tho - I stopped taking it about new year of that year and drank about 7-8 days later (can't remember exactly how many days now) and it hit me like a sledgehammer. My body temperature spiralled nearly out of control, my whole body went sort of purple and blotchy and I truly thought I was going to die, so yes, used correctly it can give you a great start but CAUTION!!!

Antabuse rocks, but be careful! I just posted a picture of myself after being off Anatabuse for ten days. (What happens if you drink too soon on Antabuse?) Headaches and rashes, even that long after. I can't IMAGINE anyone drinking on it! It's gotta be hell on earth.
