Hi Everyone,
I just thought I would give a brief update on my Antabuse experience (so far).
Today is my 12th day on Antabuse. The first 10 days I took (2) 250mg tablets. Yesterday I was able to cut my dose down to (1) 250mg tablet (as per the directions on the bottle). When I was taking 500mg's a day, I was extremely drowsy (extremely! I would suggest starting this medication on a weekend, or whenever your schedule allows for lots of naps), but today I feel a huge difference after going down to the "maintenance" dose. So far, I have had no reactions to food, hygiene products, or anything else while on Antabuse.
I honestly feel this drug has released me from the prison I was in. Once the pill is taken, you physically CANNOT drink, so what's to even think about? No more delimma. It is what it is. Move on with the day.
Now my liver is physically NOT capaple of processing alcohol, plain and simple. If I have a beer, my body will NOT process it, so I might as well just pour formaldyhde down my throat instead. This has been the KEY to changing how I think about drinking. I have never had such a positive experience in any of my previous quits. This time it's just a "done deal"...no more arguing with myself or anybody else!
Anyway, I just thought I would share my positive experience with this medication. I know a lot of people are skeptical about taking it, but if you honestly want to be alcohol free, and are committed to it, I can't recommend it enough.
Thanks for reading my post, they're not usually this long. lol
Guess my energy is kicking back in
Take Care!
