First, I am not a Dr.

Tried Campral, it may have helped some but I relapsed a couple of times while on it.

I did take a benzodiasapine <sp> (not atavan) for a long time. I found out that "benzo's" (valium, librium, atavan, klonapin and others) act just like alcohol in the body. You are just 'eating your booze' as some say. (remember mommies little helper?)

Withdrawing from benzo's is hell, been there, don't reccommend it.

Oh, and if you combine booze and benzos, it can kill you.

Never had antibuse, it's supposed to make you violently ill if you drink.

The only thing that ever worked for me was AA.

Why take something you really don't need?
