anyone?
I'm sure you've heard of it, it's the pill that makes you violently ill if you drink, it's prescribed for alcoholics and apparently drug users because it intercepts or does something to the dopamine receptors in your brain (I got be totally wrong about the dopamine thing).

I have never heard of it.
I myself am curiouse as to how it will help you, as to being opposed to it will fuck up how you want to take the rest of your non'life' prolonging medication.

Antabuse is effective, because you have to wait for one to two weeks before you can have a drink after you stop Antabuse. You can't stop Antabuse one day and have a drink the next. It gives you plenty of time to reconsider, restart your Antabuse, and ask for help.

I've read up lots on it and heard a lot about it I was just wondering if anyone had any personal experiences or anyone you know etc..

and it doesn't sedate you or numb you out like prozac, it's just like a ban on drinking. if you drink you'll get sick and probably wont wanna drink. and if you started the cycle you cant drink right away you gotta stop and then wait a few weeks before you can drink again.

Wow, that sounds nifty and useful! I wonder if there's anything like that for cigarettes.
