Antabuse side effects - skin rash, fever?

Posted by Reggie BoStar on November 5, 2005, at 16:18:46

Hi,
I take Antabuse, 250mg daily. Since starting the medication, I've been experiencing chronic low-grade fevers, abdominal cramping, and a number of skin irritations: itchy crotch rot (or something like it, anyway), itchy scalp with dandruff, soreness and irritation of skin on fingertips, chapped/irritated lips, itching on abdominal skin.
The fevers are really running me down. My MD says that I'm probably recovering from a long term intestinal virus, but this is going on two months now !!!! I'm sick and miserable all the time. There HAS to be a better way to stop drinking. What good is Antabuse if it makes you feel WORSE than a hangover???!!!???
HELP !!!!
