Help! about Anabuse
My boyfriend is an alcoholic. He's been to rehab twice and hospitalized again a month ago and start all over drinking again. He has all the physical and mental problems: bi-polar, insomnia, diabetes, hepatitis, over-over-weight, low platelets counts...
He got an Anabuse prescription from the pychiatrist but used it only for three days. I originally hesitated to put it in his meal secretly; considering the side effects the medicine can give to a liver-impaired people, I didn't do it. Today I cannot tolerate seeing him drinking to death and getting manic episode again, I finally put some pill in his meal. I guess he took about one pill. Nine hours has past, he has consumed about 1 litre more of Rum, but he still does not seem to have any reaction from it. So what happened? Maybe he has already had large toralence of liver-toxic stuffs? Maybe he has been sick for so long that he does not even feel it any more? And, the only and last thing I can try to help him is to leave him?
