Is Antabuse Causing Severe Mood Swings With Unpredictable Behavior?
my husband is on antabuse,,,he is so moody and unpredictable.. he takes it 3 days a week,,and on the weekends he is fine, after his dose on Tuesdays he is a monster. he has pain in his side , sleeps all the time, he has always been an active easy going man,,now we r on the verge of divorce,,,is there anything I can do to help his mood swings?? can this drug alter him forever, or will he go back to normal after he is done taking it..??

Hello. This isn't from the Antabuse. He's on what Alcoholics Anonymous refers to as a "dry drunk"--not drinking but not dealing with his alcoholism. He needs couseling and AA meetings to deal with the problem
