Not a fan of antabuse, haven't taken it personally, but my Dad did. On one end, it can be effective, but on the other it's not really treating the problem. My mother would have to convince my Dad to take it every morning, and for awhile he wanted to, but after awhile he fought against it (he wanted to drink again). I think the problem would have been worse if it was left up to him to take it.

Also the idea of something that if you slip up makes you increadibly ill, just doesn't seem like a good choice. (although I must admit, i thought about getting it in my weaker moments) . . .

Also the depression could be a side effect of your drinking.... The antidepressants will take a few weeks to start working, be prepared for that... Also you may feel a little weird at first, but that'll fade with time. I have noticed though, with my anxiety/depression meds, they don't work very well if I'm drinking.
