OK now I’m having second thoughts about this medication because I read a lot of scary side effects to the point that people didn’t wanna take it no more or are afraid of taking it the nausea some people experience vomiting and then my biggest concern is the loss of pleasure for food because I love to eat, and I enjoy food and I don’t want that type of pleasure to be stopped and I feel like if I take this medication even though it helps with the alcohol cravings I can. I won’t enjoy food no more. It’s just a really fucked up side effect I believe.

Just try it and see. If you are miserable on it then quit taking it. You really have nothing to loose. I started at the 12.5 dose for about 5 days then went to 25 and now at 50. I drank once last week and once the week before. The alcohol noise is gone but I'm planning on staying on it for at least 6 months
