I've been taking antabuse for 20 days now, which is truely a blessing, freeing my mind. I haven't thought about alcohol and I truely believe It's helping me in many ways. However, I know what to do to lose weight, and I know how my body works. I'm very health oriented (beside the alcohol binges I took part in) and I can't seem to lose any weight. I've had a rutine for years now, and since the antabuse it has changed, and I notice It. Anyone else notice anything with antabuse and weight? I'd like to hear about It :D Thanks for reading this! ## Have you consulted your doctor? In most cases, people actually lose weight while taking Antabuse, due to the fact that since they aren't drinking their caloric intake is lower and there is less fluid retention. ## Hi...

I am about to start taking Antabuse. I read that I shouldn't have even a drop of alcohol including vinegar. We made meatloaf for dinner and it has barbecue sauce in it which contains vinegar. Also mustard. Mayo. Salad dressing. How concerned should I be? I would like to start it right away, but do I have to wait 12 more hours? ## I would wait. The official drug label states: "The patient must be fully informed of the disulfiram-alcohol reaction. He must be strongly cautioned against surreptitious drinking while taking the drug, and he must be fully aware of the possible consequences. He should be warned to avoid alcohol in disguised forms, i.e., in sauces, vinegars, cough mixtures, and even in aftershave lotions and back rubs. He should also be warned that reactions may occur wi...

My brother has recently had a psychotic episode which I am beginning to think may have been triggered by antabuse. Has anyone else had experience or heard of this? ## Yes my boyfriend had this! He was sober about 6 weeks and the doctors put him on anabuse and prozac. He had legal issues, and he was forced to take these meds. After about 4-6 weeks, he began to feel what he described as a little too happy. and began having visual halllucinations and delusions. He became so paranoid in fact, that he began to fear sinning so he started giving money to random people, being totally honest and eventually abandoning any thought that he was anything except the second coming of christ. His mmomtook him to behavioral health and he stayed there (stablized) for 2 weeks. He proceeded to check himself...

I took 1 250mg around 11:00am. Will anything happen if I use any product that contains alcohol? ## It will do what it is supposed to, it may cause nausea, vomiting, flushing, sweating, thirst, fainting, and weakness, according to FDA reports. It is best to avoid all products containing alcohol, while taking Antabuse. Is there anything I can help with? ## I have found that taking Antabuse 250mg once a week has largely reduced my drinking. It allows me to drink 1 evening in the week because after 6 days the meds have been flushed out. I know this is not ideal, but at the moment it works for me.

My brother is a chronic alcoholic and the whole family is suffering. The doctor prescribed Esperal implant but I have only heard of Antabuse. Could please tell us side effects and where to find in my country of Macedonia? ## The biggest advantage of Esperal comparing to Disulfiram (Antabuse) pills is that it does not maintain a level of Disulfiram in the blood stream. Esperal is a microchip that tests blood stream for ethanol concentration around the clock and only if this level goes up, which means that the patient consumed alcohol, Esperal drops one crystal of highly concentrated Disulfiram and the reaction starts. Which means that Esperal has virtually no side effects. In my practice, I had only one patient from almost one thousand who violated the rules and activated the implant. ##...

I new help finding a provider to prescribe Antabuse. I,be never had a prescription. I've had a lot of trouble with alcohol in the past. Presently seperated from my husband and moved home. One of the conditions of living at home is to take ant abuse daily. Help Snellville,GA ## Hello Ally, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Based on my research, Disulfiram, the active in ingredient in Antabuse, is a very potent one and can remain in the body for weeks even after it is taken. The reaction it causes can be very critical... even lethal if the user engages in a substantial binge or there is not a hospital nearby. Further, Antabuse by itself has been shown to have almost no effect on alcoholism overall; without additional treatment alcoholics often revert to their original behavi...

I am a physician at Potchefstroom in South Africa. I would like to become a prescription doctor for the Antabuse Implant in order to help alcoholics. People in this city and surrounding areas want an operating doctor in this city and surrounding areas. ## I'm sorry, but this website doesn't handle anything like that, it is just a website that handles providing information about medications. Learn more Antabuse details here. I'm assuming that there would have to be some sort of special training that you'd undergo. Have you tried checking for information on it in your local area? ## Are Antabuse implants available in the uk? ## I need an antabuse implant asap!!

My gracious sister offered to give me my daily dose of Antabuse. I gave her the bottle to keep, partly so that she could that the pill description on the bottle matched what she was giving me. I had not had a drink in about 18 hours, and I did not cheek the pill. I swallowed it. I felt the need to test it about 3 hours later. I had a bucket by my side, just in case. Nothing happened. No flushing or vomiting. It has been about 4 hours. Any ideas?

How much alcohol is in chloral hydrate mixture 1g (1000mg) / 10ml? I am currently taking Antabuse for a drinking problem I had - obviously, I'm reluctant to take it if there is anymore than a minimal amount in it. ## I use to take Chloral Hydrate but they don't get it anymore where I live in Michigan and that really helped me! Our local hospital has it but won't sell it even with a prescription and I wonder if anybody knows where I can get it? They said it's only used for patients in the hospital which to me doesn't make any sense! I don't know why they won't fill it with my prescription.
