User Reviews for Campral

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: So far so good, I was very skeptical and put off asking for it, but my family was at the end of their rope with me. I began taking it about 1 month ago and I feel great, no urges to drink. I slipped once but I delibrately drink even though I really didn't need to, nothing changes, I felt like crap, haven't had a drink since and I plan on keeping it that way. Campral works- I'm not sure how or why- but I don't care. It really does work. Thank God

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: This has saved my life. I felt like I was starting to get out of control with my drinking, going through life week to week. Then I realized it could be different. This is awesome. I can't believe how well it works and neither can my husband. I'm great now. First thing I always did when I got home from work, was pour a vodka tonic, now... nothing. I have a new lease on life after work. I can drive after dinner.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: Once I decided to really try to quit drinking, I believe the Campral was a big help as my cravings decreased quickly. I had trouble taking 3 times a day because I would forget the mid day dosage so I take 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: I had been an alcoholic for over 12 years. I tried AA, counseling, therapy, quitting by myself. Thank God, my doctor decided to try me with Campral after going to the hospital several times and detox. Since Campral, I have not had a drop of alcohol for almost a year. May 24, 2009 will be my anniversary. I haven't had a craving, and haven't had an interest to have a drink. My question is why don't we hear about this wonderful drug. I had almost given up until I started taking Campral.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: I have not been able to stop drinking for more then three days at most in the last three years, but since taking Campral two months ago I have not had a drop.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: Thank God for this medication. Campral really does work and I feel like I have my life back. For me it has completely taken away the urge to drink, which is really saying something for a guy that drank every day for as long as I can remember. It still takes will power and a commitment to quit but Campral is the help I deperately needed. If you have a problem please see your doctor and ask him or her about this.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: I have not had a drink since January 12, 2009. I am in AA and just received my 90 day sobriety chip. I was a very heavy drinker for the majority of my adult life and had very little faith that I could kick the habit. I spent 31 days in rehab and began taking Campral once I was discharged. I have NO desire to drink and I'm happier and feel better than I have in 20 years. Praise God. I recommend it to anyone who has the desire to quit drinking.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: This is a miracle drug for me. I was a daily drinker, at least a pint a day, usually more. I couldn't go more than 3 days without a drink and I was craving and miserable the whole time. I started Campral 2 weeks ago and haven't had a drink since. I have absolutely no desire to drink. I'm astounded. Campral could put rehab centers out of business, haha (joking). This stuff is AWESOME! I also see a psychologist every 2 weeks, and a psychiatrist once a month, so I'm getting therapy along with Campral, which is what they recommend.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: I've been taking Campral for a few weeks, and am amazed at the difference in my cravings. I've been a daily drinker for 6-7 years. I've been to inpatient rehab, outpatient, countless AA meetings and counseling. This has been a miracle of sorts. I'm only a few weeks in, but I'm not white knuckling it this time. I just don't want to drink because my brain is no longer screaming for one.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: Drank for thirty years, lost everything, struggled with benders for past 2 years after rehab, no hope. 3 months post Campral. 333mg per day. The only time I think about taking a drink is when I am thinking that I am not thinking of taking a drink. Truly feel it has had an anti-depressant effect for me. Sleep great and the only side effect is an occassional dizziness. Tell everyone you know struggling.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: I drank for over 30 years until my psychiatrist recommended Campral. What a God send. I lost my desire for alcohol within a few months but remained on the drug for over a year. I decided on my own to stop the drug and have not drunk any alcohol for well over three years. In my view, this is an amazing drug, and of course, I am grateful beyond words for it.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: Heavy drinker every night for about 5 years - bottle of vodka or a couple of bottles of wine. Done myself a lot of injuries nearly lost my job so I have just started this drug only 2 days ago so still feel anxious at night, when I would usually drink so trying to find hobbies and interests to fill my mind instead. I was inspired by everyone's comments here so wish me luck.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: My partner has been on Campral for the past 2 weeks, 6 tablets a day (doctors orders) and I don't even recognize him! After 24 years of drinking everyday he hasn't had a drink since he started (That I know off) but he is really trying. I see how hard it is and I am just seeing it from an outsiders view. I don't feel the pain. But alcohol doesn't just affect the person drinking. Everyone around you is affected and you don't realize what it does to your family, friends and the things you have lost! But I would like to wish everyone luck and congratulated all those who haven't had a drink or have seriously cut down! I know it has saved my partners life.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: It has been a year since I had a drink and I thank God every day for giving me my life back. I took Campral every day for four months and it helped my will power to quit and calmed my urges to drink again. I had a prescription for six months but didn't need it anymore after 3 or 4. There is no magic pill for anything in life but I highly recommend this medicine to help kick the booze habit. Please ask your doctor about Campral and get control of your life again.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: Works well if you want it to work! You must still have the will to stay sober! Drank once since starting the medicines. All my fault set myself up for it.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: I had been a bad binge drinker for the last nine years. Going on benders ranging from 5 days to at worse 2 and a half weeks. I could remain abstinent for anything from 1 month to 8 months but always relapsed eventually. 4 hospital detoxes, countless home ones and very ill heavy drinking. Had a warning that my liver had early stage of chirrosiss so that scared me enough to try Campral. 6 a day, been on it a month now complete abstinence and generally feel, marvelous with no cravings or thoughts. So far so good. I'm sleeping great and feel calm and more balanced.

Campral (acamprosate) for Alcohol Dependence: Thanks to everyone for sharing. 3rd day on the drug now and feel surprisingly good - I had forgotten what that feels like. Also been taking Paroxetine for some time for anxiety and Campral seems to have a similar (but more beneficial) calming effect for me. Possible placebo but who cares if it works eh? Thanks!
