[MENTION=7261]Guitarista[/MENTION] antabuse is not allowed anymore in Canada, or at least in Ontario unless you visit your pharmacist daily. It can be deadly so its rare here. Campral is designed for after you are AF to help you recover.

If it worked for you congrats! NO doc will ever give me that (antabuse). Like I said campral is for recovery and not for AWS.

Hi Empy,

I couldn't get AB here in Oz either, as it has apparently been recalled and taken off pharmacy shelves, although a doc prescribed it to me after a few questions. I had to order it online from india. The product looks kosher to me, and i take less than the prescribed/recommended dose i.e. about a quarter of a 250 mg tab twice a week. No noticeable side effects after 4 weeks. It may well be aspirin, but it's doing the job which is to make me stop, pause, think twice before drinking.

Hope you're doing ok there buddy.

Re: 90 days. ..Campral miracle

Im up and down atm. My pup wakes up at 3 and for some reason wants to lick my head and ears so my sleep is all wacky.

The new keyboard is hard to get used too so typos all over when I can type blind in the dark with perfect spelling on my other one. Until keys started to get stuck. I type a lot! This one is clean without ashes from cigarettes or spills as I have it pretty much under control. This keyboard was for my wife as I had hand built her a computer she never used, and this eventually became my kodi keyboard. Its a logitech wave K350, so its simple. So its curved, unlike my other other and messing with me for hand placement. My other is a bluetooth MX5000 which is old but was very expensive. I'll try to pair it again and see if keys keep getting stuck. Naw the keys are stuck from a decade of drink spills and cigarettes so it will take some more work. Might be a waste of time.

Antabuse my dr won't even prescribe, because of the reasons you describe. He knows I will never get it, canadian boarder is crazy. Standards are Nalrexone and Campral (thats like 600-700 CAD a month) and if you are coming down diazepam. Diazepam is odd but yes you do not drink as much because you are already high as hell or asleep. Experimentation with a load of other meds. Never had antabuse so I cannot comment on it how is it? I'm extremely curious.

Hope you are doing well. Be good to yourself.

Congrats on 90 liz! (I highjacked another thread, darn)

Congratulations, Lizker, on 90 days AF.. You sound strong in your quit and doing everything necessary to have a healthy life, physically and spiritually. I'm very happy for you!:hug:

Thanks life change. I really do feel great and for the first time actually feel free. I don't feel condemned to the life i had once accepted as my curse. I know it God's hand that drags me out of bed and walks me through out my day to help me make wise choices. The Bible says we are to live a disciplined life before God and honor him with our lives. God enables us to do anything that's his will. We must align ourselves with his will though. This includes physical discipline....exercise regularly, feed out bodies right and develop spiritual discipline of prayer, to be made whole.

Thanks Vervil. So happy i did.

Re: 90 days. ..Campral miracle

That is my effort. If you look at the tray it has campral, naltrexone and B1 and B100 and C1000. As the photo shows I've tried everything.

Whoa!!! That's quite a collection there.... hope you are not on most of them.

Re: 90 days. ..Campral miracle

Thanks Liz. No cravings actually. I had a little emotional turmoil recently, nothing serious, but i reckon if i wasn't on AB i might've resorted to my easy default coping strategy - boozing.

No cravings is a combo of my mindset too. My mindset has been evolving in a positive way these past months, years. I'm thinking more and more along the lines of....life is damn short, so get out there g man while u have your health and make music, travel, be my best self. there is so much i want to do, and so much to offer humanity. This is my attitude now anyway.

Great, as long as you are not getting craving, you have a great chance of success. I totally relate to the renewed sense of purpose and desire to accomplish more. I feel that way also. I guess that's why i am working so hard (2 jobs...60-70 Hrs) a week to make up for the lost time, subconsciously i guess

No it's taken a time to figure out what works. Thats thousands and thousands of dollars. Campral, Naltrexone, and Mirtazapine seem to work... Omeprazole a PPI helps at times because it's better than an antacid. Read my personal journal and will see what i have tried.

But we are all different. I just tried everything known to humankind to stop everything from alcohol to regurgitation to nasal and lung issues. Desperation leads to some interesting discoveries. More to be covered later.
[MENTION=18648]lizker[/MENTION] the trays indicate what i use. Most is campral. First is naltrexone. I have studied how these work togther. Vitamins and how they interact with my eating patterns.

Good stuff Liz. Just don't allow yourself to get too overwhelmed with those long hours. But if you're loving it, then why not. :happy2:

Hope you're having a good week Empy.

Just out of curiosity, are you able to exercise? Physical activity especially cardio can do wonders to the body.

Re: 90 days. ..Campral miracle

[MENTION=18648]lizker[/MENTION]. I own a very expensive 29er mountain bicycle I used daily last year but haven't used it much this year because who the heck knows when its going to rain here. So yes that's my exercise. That and walking my dog which I practice on patterns so I know where to look for either one of them most of the time but the one won't leave me more than 100 feet. Oh and moving stuff around because I'm getting divorced and cannot figure out where anything is so I climb stairs constantly and lift heavy objects.

With this disease regular exercise is almost mandatory. There's a strong connection between depression and addiction. Exercise naturally regulates our neurotransmitters (serotonin, GABA, Glutamate, dopamine, Acetylcholine) Along with proper diet, supplements (mainly B Vitamins). Its sort of like a gig saw puzzle. Every piece has to fall into place for recovery to work. Taking medication or supplements without proper nutrition or exercise may not work and vice versa. Exercise without proper nutrition and addressing deficiencies won't work either. Not forgetting addressing the Spiritual side. Mind, Body and soul. I find early morning cardio extremely helpful. I wake up at 5:30 daily and start with prayer, about 30 minutes of cardio, usually outside jogging for 2 miles, jumping jacks, aerobic dancing and sit-ups. This usually gives me energy to work 12-16 hrs a day, takes care of depression and other issues. I was never a morning exerciser but his routine along with Campral has really changed my life. I also forgot to mention another very important amino acid. Tyrosine...this increases dopamine levels to combat depression. Taking tyrosine and trytophan together increases dopamine and serotonin levels naturally.

Re: 90 days. ..Campral miracle

Just picked up another 250$ in naltrexone (thats what it is a month) 22$ lol in mirtazapine which has some evidence for AF or nearly AF and effectiveness and 360$ in campral which is what this thread is about. This is insane but i'm gonna try different combo's of vitamins and these drugs. At this point i have about 600 campral 333 pills, thats 100 days of how you are recommended to use it. So 12 boxes of 86 and a couple modded to 108. I have a lot of it. Just so you know 30 pills of naltrexone is 250$. Campral is a little less expensive at 2 months for 360$ so $180/mo used as recommended. I have well over a thousand dollars in naltrexone now using something similar to the sinclair method. At 8.33$ each Yeah its about a thousand dollars. Which ones work best you can see on my personal page, but mirt, campral, naltrexone seems to be the fix though it costs a lot.

If you are curious I open cans of Canada Dry (gingerale) soda and will drink them at different stages. I drink Chai Tea to take the edge off the mirtazapine. upset stomach I use a PPI called omprazole.

I pray you have never hit that point but if you have there are people that can help you. Some of us here have and have recovered. Slips, falls; shit happens. Just keep coming back.

Hope all is well with you. I think you already have enough prescription and may not need to purchase anymore. To be honest, with focus, Campral is all you need. Not claiming to know it all and i am not a Dr but from personal experience, Campral works
just fine on its own. I would save my money and focus on making use of what you already have. Have a blessed day

I will fill as long as the benefits work so I have my safety net. Its entirely free and a pathway. I focus on using specific ones and vitamins. Campral is awesome but i really cannot figure it out. I'm definately not against it but I don't think its a cure all.
