Ron - yes, I'm detoxing on my own. I did it for the first time in July so have been down that road before. My doctor was very thorough with all the warnings, symptoms,etc. before I tried it so I'm pretty knowledgeable about that part of this mess. I'm excited to hear that vinegar-based things haven't bothered you. The warnings that came with my Rx (250mg also) warned against vinegar. So - once I see how react to the Rx itself, I'm going to try some hot sauce and see how I do. Will definetely stay away from mouthwash and the other items you mentioned. Hadn't thought about hairspray - glad you mentioned it because I use it on my bangs.

I agree with ou about alcohol being more toxic than antabuse and I'm ready to go for it. 45 more minutes and I'll be 1/3 of the way through my 24 hours. Once bedtime comes, I'll have it made -- it's just staying tough to get that far. It's been about 15 years since I've gone 24 hours without a drink, other than my very brief stint at sobriety in July.

Did you wait a full 24 hours to start taking antabuse? The flyer says to wait 12, but my doctor said 24. Thanks!
