I've been on the cockroach pills for about a month now, and whenever I drink, I turn really itchy all over. I conclude that they are very good for alcoholics on the reform path. It seriously causes great discomfort.
Another side effect of the medication is dry skin and chapped lips. I do not go anywhere without lip balm nowadays. I also have a backup lip balm, and another one as the backup for the backup. Taking no chances.
