Experiences with

Campral

I’d seen my GP and took Campral for a while to reduce the cravings, but it wasn’t a happy time. There have been a few other changes. I’m now a triathlete, an average one, but for someone who had a BMI of 32 less than three years ago, that’s not too bad. As a drinker, I belonged in an office job.

Saw my GP (helpful), was prescribed Campral, a harmless drug which reduces that alcohol craving, which I took for a few weeks before stopping. No booze for 75 days now. By luck or good genes, I’m healthy. One or two drinks wouldn’t affect me physically.

Campral really is helping. I know everyone is different. I had already cut back on drinking and had stopped in the past. I believe Campral is less effective for current heavy drinkers. However, there is help available out there, and I found my GP very supportive.
