I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with using Antabuse.
Is it available on the NHS?

Re: Antabuse
I used it when I quit in 2012. It was very helpful for me but I was determined to stick by the rules. I only used it for around 4 months or so.
In contrast I couldn't take Naltrexone as it seemed to just make me very very flat in my mood. I dont live in the UK so I cant advise on the NHS. -

Hi Londoner
I used it and I have 4 months now. It is usually 250 mg, which I cut in half and take 125 mg every 5 days or so.
Drinking with it in your system is unpleasant. I would assume that a daily dose would make the effects of drinking
much worse, but the ones I've experienced are bad enough for me to never be that stupid

Re: Antabuse
I've never been game to try it and Ive read some horror stories around it. The anxiety of alcohol scares me enough and I don't want that after a drink or 2. I'm going Baclofen route to see how we goComment
