    Antabuse Question

    HI, sorry if this isn't the right to place to post. I took one antabuse this am for the first time, 250mg. If I have a drink today will I get sick? How long does it take to kick in. The doc told me it takes awhile to build up so I'm wondering. I am in agony from not drinking and I want to have a drink to make the feeling go away. Argh.

    NO!

    It would be a BIG mistake to drink with 250 mg in your system.

      It would be very ugly and you would feel about 10000x worse than you do now if you drink. Seriously, don't do it!

        Antabuse

        If you want to drink don't take it. It's simple. But then why have it??

          Yes you WILL get sick. Your heart will race and your face will get all flushed. You will feel indescribably horrible. Why did you take it if you weren't SURE? This is not something to be messed around with.

          Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

            Panicprincess,

            If your withdrawals are very bad, call your gp and ask for enough Librium to get through the next couple of days. Withdrawal from alcohol can be serious, as I am sure you know from your other thread.

            AB should not have been taken until you were certain there was no left over alcohol in your system.

            You will get sick if you drink. Don't add to your misery. Call your doc.

                Kitty Kat,

                I don't have a scientific answer for you but do know that both in this country and the UK it is Librium that is more prescribed for withdrawals, including anxiety, than Valium.

                  Valium, Librium and Ativan are all used in AWS.

                  Librium is the oldest drug, Valium is the strongest.

                  None of the above should be mixed with alcohol, period.
