i have been on detox for alcohol and my detox ends tomorrow since my medication has been reduced to just 2 tabs daily i have been feeling palpitations & sweats although not bad, i,ve heard of a follow on medication called ant-abuse, what is this and will it help?
Hello, I'd be happy to answer your question.
The medication ant-abuse is given to people for the treatment of alcohol addication. The medication works by causing you to become violently ill if you drink while taking the medicaiton.
Ideally patients who take the medication faithfully stop drinking because they don't want to be sick. So if you are serious about stoping enough to take the medication as schedled, it will likely help.
