How To Overcome The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Alcohol?
I am a recovering alcoholic and was prescribed Campral after being clean for 60 days. It made my craving unbearable and to be honest made me walk around like I was highly intoxicated my eyes could not focus I was dehydrated nauseous. My eyes were tired but my body felt awake. I am trying to find how common this is?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Campral contains acamprosate and it is a anti-craving agent. It has few side effects like drowsiness, anxiety symptoms, nausea etc. These symptoms would stay for few days and decrease with time. In case, it stays, then you can talk to your psychiatrist to shift on another anti-craving agent like baclofen. If you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
