Campral (Acamprosate) – What To Expect from use of the Alcohol Anti Addiction Medication
Many patients go through medical or alcohol detox to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Even after a few days of alcohol withdrawal the GABA/Glutamate systems are in a state of imbalance. Taking Campral on a daily basis seems to restore the normal balance of the GABA/Glutamate interaction. Consequently, alcohol addiction patients on Campral report that after the first 4-6 weeks of being on it, they begin to feel calmer, are able to handle stress and concentrate more effectively, as well as having decreased alcohol cravings.
Because these significant improvements take at least a month to begin to appear, some patients have a tendency to stop the anti-addiction medication prematurely. Also, when the positive effects appear, they usually develop slowly over 2-4 weeks and so there is no overt, pronounced effect. Those suffering from alcohol addiction can expect the effects to be significantly more noticeable 4-6 weeks after starting Campral.
