Kindly go to emergency medicine department and get observed for next 24 hours for chances of circulatory collapse. They would know how to stabilise and resuscitate you. It is life threatening to get exposed to alcohol after disulfiram. Good luck.

Disulfiram is a good friend. He ask you daily don't take alcohol as disulfiram is with u. For smoking cessation such aversion phenomena is not seen with medicine but many other options available. Like nicotine patch, vernicline tablet, nicotine replacement lozeng.

Disulfiram tablet is taken for curbing the habit of excessive drinking. This tablet is not a solution to alcohol abuse and as such shouldn't be given for longer periods. Its task is to eliminate the habit of drinking in a conditioned individual by developing averse reactions in his body so that the body starts to avoid alcohol.

Only strong will power, determination, attending AA meetings and diverting mind when tempted will help you stop alcohol or may need professional help from a psychiatrist or de addiction centre. Try to do meditation and yoga. Read good books and listen to music and if you are believer attend Bhajans Alcohol causes 7 types of cancer, including breast, mouth and bowel cancers. When you drink alcohol, cancer-causing chemicals are formed. Alcohol also affects hormone levels and makes cells even more ...more

Seems highly unlikely. Never heard of a person taking disulfiram and alcohol, as the interaction can be life threatening. Try getting admitting your father in a licensed de-addiction centre as in patient and detox him.

You are putting your liver and nerves at risk for serious damage. Also you are putting yourself at risk for a severe disulfiram reaction which could lead to fall in blood pressure and sudden death too.

Disulfiram acts by producing unpleasant symptoms after ingestion of alcohol. Repetitively experiencing unpleasant symptoms after taking alcohol makes a person quit alcohol.
It does not produce any mental change by itself. Anyway, 3 days is a very short time period to anticipate any behavioural change.
CAUTION: Disulfiram can be potentially lethal. Use only as advised by your Doctor.

The treatment of disulfiram reaction is symptomatic and there are no specific medicine to counter the effect of disulfiram. Please see your gp if you are suffering from adverse effects due to disulfiram use. Also, do not drink alcohol or use products that might contain alcohol when in disulfiram.
