What if there were a medication that could give you a small headache, or make you slightly nauseous, or cause some other undesirable effect when you drank alcohol?
You've got your TSM blocking positive reinforcement and causing extinction. What if you were able to add a little dose of negative reinforcement also? Of course you wouldn't do this all the time and compliance would definitely be lower but if you did it every once and a while...wouldn't it speed up the extinction process?
A medication actually comes to mind, I think it was called citrated calcium carbamide..or something close to that. weaker and safer than antabuse. I'm rambling here. This might be a question for Dr Roy also but what do you people think about this?
edit: citrated calcium carbamide (if that is even what it's called) wouldn't be suitable for this I don't think. It is weaker and safer than antabuse but from what I've read about it, it would be too unpleasant and masochistic to use it. Something else though?
