I haven't had problems with gas, but did have severe diarrhea. Not even Immodium helped. I stopped them for a couple of days and had problems with the anxiety and cravings again. I tried just taking a couple a day, but that didn't help with the cravings. Then I realized that I had stopped my GERD medication because it was so expensive. Once I started it again, I went back up on the Campral. The cravings and anxiety are gone. My doctor told me that the side effects usually clear up within 3 weeks, but unfortunately for me, I am one of those people that will have them. Fortunately, the GERD med is helping. I refuse to stop taking the Campral unless I have absolutely no other choice.

I would try the Gas-X. You have nothing to lose other than a bit of gas.

thanks for the info! I cut back to 1 pill 3 times a day and will see how it goes. I stopped for just one day and the anxiety started to come back. If my mind started to trick me to think I didn't have a problem that convinced me once again. Alcohol is so powerful to mess up your brain chemicals!! It's good to know maybe I will get some relief after 3 weeks. I am on day 17 today, this is the longest I have gone w/out a drink in over 30 years.

I have never touched Campral in my life but found it impossible to not read this thread. I sit in terribly boring meets every day and I am thinking of taking Campral as a weapon.

I have been on Campral for 4 days and have not experienced gas yet. Did you ask your doctor about it? I also take trazadone, welbutrin & calexa so maybe that's the difference. My doctor prescribed Campral to help get rid of the cravings. I was wondering if it does work. Any comments?

I took Campral for a full month. I had no negative side effects. I also didn't crave alcohol. After I had a month AF under my belt, I was able to continue AF for another 7 months thereafter. Unfortunately, I had slipped and had previously thrown out the large bottle of Campral that I had. I have a doctors appointment on 2/23. I'm thinking of asking for another perscription for Campral.
