What is the likelihood of an anti-booze patch not working? My aunt had one and it has not worked at all. Her doctor says there is a 1 in 12 000 chance of this happening. He wants to re-do it but put in a double dose of pills - 12 instead of 6. will it work - is there a more effective method?

There are tablets one a day for the first few weeks, if she drinks she will know about it, if it has no effect then she is 1 in a million, there is also a danger of drinking while your on them a person I know took anti-booze still drank and is in a cabbage state the last 8 years or so. He has his dinner fed threw a straw, he was only in his thirties. I'm an alco I recommend a detox from docter, and the a.a or in patience treatment if you can afford it. I'm only of it a week and its driving me mad. Good luck. By the way if she doesn't stop drinking leave her you will only end up hurt she will f'uck your head up then die, I take it she is an adult let her kill herself don't let her kill u.

I thought the anti booze patch went under the skin on the butt? What is the difference?
