Acamprosate for Alcohol Use Disorder "I just started it and am feeling shaky and nauseous. I also have a headache, but am not sure if it's related. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if I can keep taking it if it makes me feel this way."

Acamprosate for Alcohol Use Disorder "Doesn’t seem to work for me all that much. I’ve been on this a while, 2 tablets of 333 MG three times a day. It caused me to have allergic reactions too, such as hives and itching. The shakiness (DT's) still has not gone away. I’m 22 days sober today from alcohol dependence. Prior to that, I was clean for 60+ days and had a relapse only over the course of 8 days. So this detox shouldn’t be bad. Even with all these meds that I’m taking, my anxiety becomes overwhelming sometimes, and I feel like picking up a drink, however, I still haven’t and want to remain sober. So, my doctor prescribed me a low dose of Librium (25 MG) and told me to take 1-2 times a day just until my symptoms are under control. I was taking Vistaril, but it didn’t help enough for me personally. For me, this alcohol craving pill might as well be a sugar pill."

Acamprosate for Alcohol Use Disorder "This helped me a lot with alcohol withdrawals. Usually, I will get shakes and horrible anxiety. This reduced it by half."

For Alcohol Use Disorder "Went cold turkey off this drug almost killed me. I had serious shakes, chills, muscle spasms, body felt limp, hallucinations, crazy feeling, scary nightmares."
