I have recently read that certain drugs for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder also seem to help lessen the urges in problem gamblers as appearently the same areas of the brain come into play
"A PILL" will only distract (at best) troubled gamblers (and their families) from learning how to solve problems of gambling adversity & aftermath.
Pills, in themselves can become the cause of more problems - and in time they cause the addictive process of thinking to remain active within the user mind.
Switching a pure addiction (where no subtance is required) for a substance based treatment approach, will only cause a substance based side effect.
" 'A PILL' will only distract (at best) troubled gamblers."
In reality, t wont even do that...
I used naltrexone in order to abstain from heroin in my first year of sobriety, and I subsequently gambled (my secondary addiction) my fucking head off...
Why? Because no one told me about the mythical anti-gambling reinforcement properties of naltrexone...
Thus, the placebo effect (and this drug offers) of this supposed anti-addiction "wonder drug" didn't gain any cognitive traction...
BULLSHIT!!!
Naltrexone = Placebo
