Yep, it works too. My doctor suggested it my last and final go around. I took 3 a day. It works if you arent drinking with it

It seemed like a placebo to me. I felt no different being on it than off.

I'm taking it now, have been for a few months now. not sure if it works or not tbh, I had less cravings at first I thought but I did still end up drinking (admittedly that was after actually avoiding quite a few near-relapses, so maybe I would have drank sooner without it?)
I'm 7 days sober now and still taking it, highest dose now. I've had less cravings but I've also been going to AA meetings, so who knows? I'm at the stage where il just try everything I can, and I've had no side effects so no harm in it from my perspective
I definitely don't find it to be effective enough on its own, but it probably does help along with other support etc

Ps a better way to articulate what I was trying to say is that I've found it to be quite effective with physical cravings and pull I felt towards alcohol, including desire for taste (the smell of alcohol bothers me now on this too) but has no impact on obsessive thinking or desire for emotional relief - if I was anxious or something bad happened, I want to drink just as badly on or off campral
Hopefully this helps
Like I said I have no side effects at all though, so worth a try?

I found taking it and staying clear of drink it has worked for me i take 6 per day as doctor ordered, been on it a few months have relapsed on it, but thats when i never took my dose in the day.

Some people swear by it and havent drank in years and years, in Australia its extremely cheap.
