I am so excited I can hardly contain myself at times. I started taking kuduz a herbal anti-alcohol support last Tuesday. The angushish, depression, fear, and downright horror of thinking I was doomed to be a drunk the rest of my life disappeared to a hypomanic feeling of feeling fantastic ever since. I had struggled daily for 4 months relaspse not being able to put the bottle down and getting extremely depressed about it. Last night i was looking at some videos of a party i had and i wasn't drinking but friends in video were. Mental trigger came and said i want one last drink before monday when i go looking for a career and wanted to see how the kudzu reacted with the beer, Went to store bought 2 24OZ. beers at percent alcohol. i got home and it took me 4 hours to drink one. my manic high immediately went out the frickin window and felt no buzz but worse. it ruined my high. i really am astonished. today is sunday there are 2 24oz beers left and i honest to God don't want them this is a first for me since i was 15 and a chronic blackout drinker from the get go once i put it in my body. I am 53 years old. Then i see where a member of this group had the same experience like the thought of drinking magically dissapears. I want to go buy a case of this herb cause parnoid they may take if off the market if word gets out. No money for the doctors, pharmacetical companys and the police force. It is giving me the opportunity to look at the devestation of what alcohol as done to me and do some writing that i could never do before and work on mental belief that alcohol is the answer. Started a drinking diary as Paul suggested. I hope i don't break the rules and someone says i am promoting a product but i have no invested interest in kuduzu just the desire that others maybe helped to not have so much pain as i did. thanks group!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic news Candis, hope Kuduz has the same effects on others as it does on you.
Keep on going, keep on posting.
Greetz,

really glad you found something that has worked for you
dont be to hard on yourself you decided to do something positve about your problem dosent matter how long it took you . i wish you every continued success .
dose this herb help with other problems or is it just for alchol related problems .
It says in many different research sites that it helps with regulation of sugar and cigarette addiction. Many forums I checked out the people quit drinking and then 2 months later they quite smoking. Now I also read a couple of things that were contradictory one site said it made you feel drunk faster and it made you have a high blood alcohol level and some said you don't get a buzz. I didn't not have a buzz at all in fact felt depressed and wished I had not of drank at all. I still have 2 24 oz. and had a bad phone call this afternoon from a drunk woman telling me off and mentally wanted to walk 2 feet and get 1 beer. I need to throw them out cause i never allow alcohol in the house even if I am drinking cause I have almost died many times cause i went into a black out and drank everything and did not even know it. I learned along time ago too that i will not drink with others cause if they want more am a go till i pass out. I only drink alone cause like I said I truely can't stop unless i drop. Boyfriends have taken all my money and shoe and I still got booze. they have slept in front of doors and i go out the window. One time i let a guy beat me so he would get it for me. I was a teenage chronic drunk and put on antabuse by my choice since I was 18. I drank on that 1000's of times thinking it was out of my system and it was not. I really don't know why I am still alive except that maybe i can help abused children if I recover. I was a Drug and alcohol counselor for about a year but relasped and quit.
you must find your inner strenght hun
you will survive this .and your be able to help others think how worthy that is .dont deny your recovery theres so many children you could help out there
taht inits self is worth fighting for . be someones hero hun
Hi Candis, I just did a Google search for Kuduz. It led me towards a movie for some reason.
Is it spelt right?
I'd like to find out some more info on this wonder herb/med...
Besides, it would be nice if it worked against smoking as you mention.
Been drinking and smoking for more than 40 years.

Hi Tim,
I think it's spelt kudzu. I'm going to give it a try, it's a lot cheaper than the selincro.

THANK YOU SO MUCH> I needed that!!!!!!!!
Hi. I started taking Kudzu last week and as far as I am concerned it is amazing. I haven't felt the need or urge for a drink at all, which is usually always a niggle in the back of my head.
I wondered if it was just psychological or if really works?
studies have shown it be 83% successful in those that take it for alcohol cravings, so I'm definitely going to continue taking it.
Yesterday I had some devastating news, which would ordinarily have pushed me towards a drink. But I can honestly say that the thought did not even cross my mind. And whilst I am writing this the thought of a drink actually makes me feel quite nauseous.
How amazing is that?
Anyway, I'm going to stick with it, and stock up in case it suddenly sells out!
Ill keep you all updated on progress.
Liz
YOU BET!!!!!!! So glad you had the same experience. Keep me posted.
The only thing I found in the Bio shop was Capsules of Kudzu, not that I realy want to try it, just me being curious (I'm happy with Selingro and don't want to run at all directions)
The owner of the bioshop was very positive about it.
the price of those was 28 Euro for 60 Tablets, is this reasonable ??
Hi
i paid £13.99 for 60 500mg capsules, which will last a month as you need to take 2 a day ( the equivalent of 1000mg per day) so the ones you found do sound a bit expensive.
i got mine off Amazon (if I can say this???)
i did think about taking Selincro, but as you only take it when you know you are going to drink, I didn't think that would be setting the right approach for me. As in, I would have to plan to drink, which isn't what I want to do. I don't want to plan to drink. I want to stop altogether, so if Kudzu stops the urges ( which amazingly it has done so far) then I think that's a better approach for me.
Hope that helps?
Liz
Hi,
Did you find that the benefits of kudzu started from day one or did it take a few days to kick in. I took my first one earlier and then drank a bottle of port.
Jan
Sooy, still cn;t get it here in
Yes I found it worked from day one, but as I said earlier maybe it's the placebo effect, plus I really don't want to drink anymore so it could be more psychological than anything?
ive been taking it for over a week now and have still had no urges to drink even in the face of very bad news.
maybe it takes some people a while for the effects to register.
Keep going with it, it's got to be worth a try?
Liz
Still working for me too Liz. I really can't believe it yet. i did drink on it once and no buzz drank very little and did not want to do it again. it worked the 1st day too like u. i think it was better too than prozac and some of the other anti depressants i have been on. it balances out womens hormones and sugar. i believe i am not even craving cupscakes. I paid 24.94 american dollars for 120 tabs at 750 mgs 3 a day. it is full spectrum brand is called plantetary herbals. I can't understand why this is so unheard of.
Hi candis! I also have been a chronic drinker (heavy) for the last 6 years. I began the kudzu root not long ago, and man! What a difference. Total abstinence. My whole day used to be planned on when I get my drink on. I would soldier through work just because the promise was I could get home and kill a bottle of wine and maybe more. Now, I don't even miss it. Plus it gives me good energy
It was day one for me. But that also may be because I also am really trying to abstain completely and am looking into going into AA meetings. It did help with the cravings but you also have to decide you're completely done with drinking too.
I agree with you. For me one is too many and 1000 is never enough. I can't be a casual drinker, so I have to not touch the stuff
Can I start using this while still drinking?
