Has anyone used this drug for cravings in thier early months of sobriety? If so did you have positive or negative experiences with it? My doctor prescribed ti and I would just like to know what to expect. Thanks in advance..

i took it for about a year.
I think it did calm the cravings.
It didnt stop me from drinking though.
it was supposed to take away the buzz, but not for me. I still felt it and drank to compensate for that.
When i committed to quitting and committed to AA i stopped taking it and by then there were no cravings.
But overall i think it did help. especially in early sobriety

Yes, that drug did help with me cravings. The Antabuse I was given I drank on. And the Campral didn't really help much for the craving & I drank while taking it.

Started these 4 days ago, felt fairly sick for the first couple of days, i believe this is a fairly common side effect though so hopefully i'm past it. On 21 days sober now and hopefully these tablets(along with AVRT and doc appointments) can give me the boost i need to get past the 1/2 month mark when the beast inside usually prevails! Good luck with them OP.

I too am using AVRT, nineteen67. I am Rx'd it only when I feel I may drink so we will see. Became very sick dizzy and tired on them... however, that in and of it self I guess made it hard to drink..lol. Thanks for the replies. Hopefully next time I take it I wont get such bad side effects.
