    First week on this medication and it seems to work. My need to drink just isnâ??t there. But I have yhis feeling of something missing but sure itâ??s that Iâ??m used to packing a cold one around the house. Iâ??ll get back and give another review after one month. Wish me luck.

    Hello I am back again and I have been on this miracle drug now for almost 3 months. I haven't totally lost the cravings but almost. I really think besides the cravings when you have been drinking for so long and you quit it seems like you are missing something when you are not, actually. Been a drunk like forever, been sober so many times I lost count. I reduced my intake of this medicine ... Show Full Comment
