Hey there, it's great that you're researching different options for treating alcoholism. Medications like disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone can be helpful for some people in managing their drinking. However, it's important to keep in mind that everyone's journey with addiction is different and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to consult with a medical professional or addiction specialist to determine the best course of treatment. If you're looking for more information, I would recommend checking out fherehab They provide a lot of great resources and information on addiction and recovery, including information on medications and other treatment options.

@mlop11 Hello mlop11, thank you for opening this discussion. Let me tag some other members who can possibly weigh in on this.

Hi everyone, how have you been? Have any of you heard of or tried any medications that can help treat alcohol addiction? Did they work for you? If you haven't tried them, is it something you'd be interested in?

First of all. Id like to change my profile picture. Secondly, ativan has been working for me for some time. Its an addictive drug and dont recommend it. Wellbutrin work for a little as well, that worked for non-smoking as well as not drinking. But you have to be aware of the side effects because I had some nasty dreams and got off of that silly drug as well but it all changes what's who takes it. Everybody is different
