Hi little cat.
I'm not familiar with that med. Anticraving meds that are available in Canada are basically Naltrexone (Revia) and Campral. I was on Naltrexone for 3 years to help me beat an opiate addiction, but it did nothing for my alcohol cravings, and I can't take campral since it's countraindicated if you have depression. Off label options are topomax, which I can't take because of interactions with my other meds and gabapentin which my Dr. is reluctant to prescribe because it's sedating and I'm already on 2 sedating meds.
The thing that works most reliably for me is Antabuse, when I can convince myself to stay on it. If I can stay sober tomorrow and Sat., then I can restart the Antabuse on Sun. which I'm determined to do. I need to stop this cycle of self destruct that I'm on.
Decided I couldn't even handle the thought of chicken fried rice for dinner, so I'm just sipping some flavoured water and hoping I can make it through the night without throwing up again.
Looking on the bright side, if I can manage to get myself back on the antabuse, I never have to go through withdrawal again, unless I chose to screw-up.
