Starting Campral Tonight

:new:

Hello All,

I am brand new to this board. I was inspired reading the Campral stories on her last night. So, today I asked the doc for some and he gave me the 7 day sample pack. I am going to take it in just a few minutes. I am on day 8 of no drinking but with the weekend right around the corner, I am glad to have the Campral. Well, I think I am anyway.

I am starting them tonight as opposed to earlier today because I wanted to see how I will react. I am standing by with a box of GasX and don't need to drive anywhere. Hopefully it will be OK and I can take them tomorrow at work etc.

I am a little nervous about taking them. The second I swallow it I know I will have at least a small panic attack in anticipation of the effects. Hopefully it does not mess with me too much.

I have read most of the Campral related threads on here, but if anybody could add any little stories about weight gain/loss, panic attacks and of course success, I would appreciate it.

It will have been a long time since I have gone 2 weekends in a row w/o drinking and hopefully the Campral will help make it possible.

Thanks in advance for your support!

I haven't any experience of Campral but just wanted to welcome you to MWO and congratulate you on the steps you have already taken.

JDP, I take Campral, and have no side effects. Well maybe an increased bathroom activity. The only trouble I have with the medication is taking it three times a day. I get busy and forget that afternoon dose. I wish you lots of luck with the medication. Keep us updated.
