Antabuse

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with antabuse and how long it takes to get out of your system?

I took Antabuse for 60 days. I actually found that it didn't bother me much, but my doctor told me it takes two weeks to get it out of your system. The side effects of Antabuse if you drink with it in your system can be lethal. I was one of a very small percentage of people who could take Antabuse and drink (stupid to even try it, but I did - too bad, I was counting on it to keep me from drinking). Anyway, two weeks is what I was told and what I read - don't take any chances!

Hi and Welcome!

I did drink with it and I became violently ill..

.

As to the afterlife...
I suggest you ask your doctor or read the paper
that came with your prescription.

Are you doing anything else to quit drinking?
