I have done all the drugs: naltrexone, campral, antabuse. I used them first in outpatient treatment, then I bought them online.
Naltrexone is not prescribed for alcoholism: it is prescribed for bingers and is meant to be used with alcohol in an attempt to stop the binging.
If you ask this binge drinker if it helped, no, it didn't help me. I just planned my binges around the pills.
5 days is not a bad time frame for detox....here again I am bordering on giving medical advice but I have put my severely active alcoholic bro into detox for three days and he emerged okay.
I think I CAN give one piece of advice here without breaking the rules: have you considered a program? I know many people have quit without a program, but others, like me, need a little support and structure.
I know lots of different personalities walk into AA rooms, Smart rooms, etc, but we all have the same problem even though we are different.
