You're right, it leads to acid stomach and bad choices. Buy Pepsi instead.

OMG - don't even think about it. You could get so seriously sick that you could die. No kidding. I'll try and find a link about it. I've never taken it but from what I've read people have had bad reactions from the sherry in Christmas cake, never mind a glass of AL. It is seriously very, very dangerous to drink unless Antabuse is out of your system for several days and it takes at least three days to detox from it if not more.Geekteeth;1166230 wrote: Have not taken my Antabuse today, if I drink will I get sick?For every 60 seconds that you are angry, you lose a minute of happiness.

Okay - this is what I found after a quick search...
If you drink while taking antabuse, you can experience these symptoms:
Flushing
Nausea
Copious Vomiting
Sweating
Thirst
Throbbing in the Head and Neck
Throbbing Headache
Respiratory Difficulty
Chest Pain
Palpitations
Dyspnea
Hyperventilation
Tachycardia
Hypotension
Syncope
Marked Uneasiness
Weakness
Vertigo
Blurred Vision
Confusion
Those are the "mild" symptoms. Severe reactions can include respiratory depression, cardiovascular collapse, myocardial infarction, acute congestive heart failure, unconsciousness, arrhythmias, convulsions, and death.
Geek - they're not kidding. Don't risk drinking even tho' you didn't take Antabuse today. It could literally be the last thing you do.
And this...
Antabuse is effective, because you have to wait for one to two weeks before you can have a drink after you stop Antabuse.For every 60 seconds that you are angry, you lose a minute of happiness.

I'm with JC and Stirly here Geekteeth. And Greenie. You are playing with fire. I'd almost say you should ring a hotline if you are really getting tempted to take a drink. Please be careful and think all this through. I imagine the coke won't help hun.:lGeekteeth;1166230 wrote: Have not taken my Antabuse today, if I drink will I get sick?Comment

Geekteeth, are you alone? Can you go to an AA meeting or something? Maybe it would be helpful if you put yourself in a setting that required making choices that are in your best interest. Seems like you are at high risk at the moment.sigpic

Ben!!! Please, please listen to me. You can not drink for at least 10 days. You can wait 10 days right? You can NOT drink. Sweetie - I told you what happened to me when I drank after 6 days of being off it. What I didn't tell you was that I had only been taking 1/2 a pill every other day. And, I still had a horrible reaction. Ben - please believe everything that Stirly wrote. You are doing great. Hang in there my friend."Only I can change my life.

Ben - you can live thru the cravings. :l Sometimes it doesn't seem like it but you can. Who knows that you are AF now? Can you call them and do something with them right now? Go to the movies? Go bowling? Use up some of the excess energy that you might have right now from the coke?
Love you xxooxx"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett

Very good call GK. You were scaring folks that care. No one has mentioned this yet, so I will. If you have any coke left, can you give it away, flush it(I realize that will be hard)? The coke will give you devil may care and I am invincible mindset. Thinking of you and sending you strength!Geekteeth;1166242 wrote: Ok I won't. Just really craving right nowPsalms 119:45

Geek - I have no idea what coke does either but what RC says makes sense to me. Any narcotic could alter your "reasonable thinking" and turn it into a "nothing will happen" thoughts. Please, if you do have any more coke, get rid of it and please call someone to come and stay with you or go out with you or whatever it takes to get through these cravings. I agree with the others say - please call a family member or friend now.RingingCedars;1166252 wrote: Very good call GK. You were scaring folks that care. No one has mentioned this yet, so I will.
