Acamprosate
alcohol dependence
"I have been drinking heavily (daily) for the past 20 years.  When my family gave me the choice to drink and leave or stay home and be sober, I threw in the towel and sought help.  My physician has me on 333mg three times a day and I am receiving regular counseling from my therapist.  The first several days of treatment had my head feel like it was melting (after sobering, which was a three days).  Since then, no cravings for alcohol.  Tried a sip of scotch after the first week and threw the rest of the glass away, tasted like crap.  Been under this treatment for two weeks now and I am in heaven. "
