Dear lybrate-user,
Disulfiram (antabuse) reacts with alcohol to make acetaldehyde which is a poison. So if you take antabuse, you should be absolutely sure that you will not drink alcohol in any form - not even a teaspoonful. Carry with you a card always to say that you are on Antabuse. Inform a close friend and family member that you are on antabuse.
However you can not buy antabuse on your own. A psychiatrist only prescribe or dispense it. She/he will give you all the precautions to be...more

I am very concerned that your brother has not reached what we call, ‘Hitting Rock Bottom’ as yet. To me, his Rock Bottom seems to be death if he is a heavy drinker and is completely sloshed everyday i.e. Only death can stop his addiction! Anyway do not despair as yet and you may attempt the following and see how it works: you may have tried a de-addiction center but he should not have been released if he was not ready. So in this attempt, he may be taken to another de-addiction center that i...more

That is not true. If he wants to and is willing, he can get out of the addiction to alcohol with support. If he thinks he can do it from home, that I agree, may be very difficult. He has developed dependence and tolerance, two factors that work together, to increase our need for the substance and to need more of it for the same pleasure, over time. These effects condition us psychologically and physically, that giving up appears to be a very difficult task. That is why detoxification is recommen...more

Dear lybrate-user,

Dear Luise,
Since alcohol is a sedative, when you stop drinking there is difficulty in sleeping. The brain gets used to the drinks. It will ask you to give drinks by disturbing your sleep.
So, doctors' first medicine when you stop alcohol is a Calmpose kind of drug. There are many types of such drugs - both tablets and injections. Few act only for 2 hours, few acts longer than 24 hours. It will be given for 2-3 weeks initially, when you stop drinking, depending on your need. It is a dru...more
