I tried Selincro several weeks ago but it didn't work for me - I stayed off the forum as I didn't want to put anyone off. Has there been any success stories with this med?

      There is a drug called Nalmefene that is highly recommended.

      There is an alcohol therapist on here who knows about this problem.

      He is very understanding and helpful.

      He also does rehab.

      Hope this info helps x

      Selincro and Nalmefene are the same drug smile All drugs have an approved name (Nalmefene in this case) and a name given to it by the maker (Selincro) smile

    It seems it is working well for some people, don't worry about putting people off, some drugs work better for some people than for others smile
