Antabuse (disulfiram) Side Effects, Uses Dosages

Side Effects for Antabuse (disulfiram)

It saved my life and it saved my marriage.

No noticeable side effects unless attempting to drink, which I did, once. I became very sick, red as a tomato, felt like my face was on fire, severe muscle aches. It was a strong reminder as to why I take it. I like having a hard line barrier to drinking as I can convince myself I want it even though another part of my brain knows I don't.

For those who truly struggle to control cravings no matter how badly they want to be sober I feel like this is a good option.

ANTABUSE (DISULFIRAM): This medication is used along with counseling and support to treat alcoholism. Disulfiram works by blocking the processing of alcohol in the body. This causes you to have a bad reaction when you drink alcohol. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

HAIR BEGAN TO FALL OUT! After 1yr of using! Weight loss was about 10 lbs. had to pay $100 for 30 day supply.

The only positive side effect with Alesse is that it did regulate my periods. But it made everything else worse. I am in a committed relationship of almost 3 years, and ever since taking alesse my sex drive is non existent. I have also gained about 30 pounds at least. I made an appt with my dr. to change, and was prescribed yasmin. after reading horrible reviews about that i am deciding against taking either. im kind of at a loss.

I really did not have any side effects taking this little white pill I take 1 mg cap twice a day one in the morning and one at night I have been taking this for 9 months I have labs taken every 2 weeks and my levels are always great! no problems.

Lightheadedness, fatigue, muscle/joint pain, headaches, ear ringing, blurry vision and facial rash.

Took Valsartan 40mg for 7 days. Gave me a cough and raised my BP instead of lowering it. My bottom BP number was higher than it was before. 100 which I never had issues with before. And my pulse rate was in the 40’s a couple times. Then one time setting for 15 minutes relaxing my pulse was 78 BP 168/110. So my pulse was erratic too. My resting pulse is usually in the 60s without meds.

I feel incredibly spacey and cannot make the words come from my head out to my mouth. I am constantly searching for a simple word or idea - I sound and feel like an idiot.

Hung over feeling the next morning but wears off by noon. Sexual side effects - difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection the next day or night. After a day or two of not using Ambien the sexual side effects passed. Difficult decision - sleep or good sex life?

Has anyone had back pain from this poison and recovered fully?

The worst!!! Made my symptoms 1000x worst. Stop using it now!!

I'm allergic to penicillan so was perscribed erythoromycin. I've taken it in the past with food with mild stomach pain. But this time it was sooo bad. After two days on the medication, I threw up for 5 hours last night, pain was worse than labor!! Will not take this drug again.
