I took Antabuse. Started out with the fear that 1 drop of alcohol even 2 weeks after stopping Antabuse would cause intense sickness and agony. Had to read all labels for lotions, shampoos, hairspray, makeup and perfume for "alcohol" ingredients that would be absorbed thru the skin and cause an adverse reaction. When dining out, had to question the waitor that no wine was used in the sauces, etc. to avoid becoming sick. It's a major pain in the buttocks. Antabuse doesn't help with cravings. It makes you too afraid to drink while you're on it.
I had hormonal bloodwork done to rule out early menopause causing my depression. My levels were normal, so the bloodwork didn't help me at all, except to rule out a cause.
Hope this helps some.
