Has anyone ever tried medicine to control impulsive gambling?

[darkangel11]

There's medicine for everything these days, but affecting the chemical balance of your body is usually a bad thing and psychiatric drugs are usually doing a lot of harm. They are turning one disease into another, but nobody cares. People are usually happy as long as that new one has less symptoms, or symptoms you can handle.
A gambling medicine, if it really works, is probably a psychotropic drug that makes you feel more relaxed and unable to focus on gambling. I wouldn't take it.

For those into gambling have you ever tried to took some medicine just to control your impulsive gambling?

Like the Magic Bottle? 

No. Should seek professional help from a therapist or psychiatrist? Maybe they will prescribe something if it's serious enough, but I don't have much knowledge on this. Should ask in a medical forum, maybe will give you a better and more accurate answer.

As i understand your thread, i think you are in funny mode. Because have you ever listen that some medicine is here for control the impulsive gambling? Sure not. But in gambling addicted gamblers always want some medicine for left the gambling. Then we have also not medicated treatment, only develop the sense in yourself and change your mind from addiction then the day is not far when we could treat ourself very well without medicine.

wow i think that is only true about some serious cases of gambling addiction and i don't think it would even be effective either. and besides any kind of drug always has so many other side effects.

i have no idea what this "magic bottle" is but there are some medications (needs to be doctors orders/prescribed) for help with compulsive gambling but they seem mostly a "may help" kind of drugs:

I don't think there is a medicine for that, it's an emotional problem and when we have that kind of weakness we must stay away from gambling.
You need counseling from the professionals to control your gambling habit or best thing to do is just to quit to avoid further loses that might only affect your financial status in life.

yes, indeed, i think there is no such thing as medicines that could stop someone from gambling addiction. only counseling or going to a rehab center. there, there could be possible medicines but maybe medicines only to control someones stress or depression due to the fact that they can not longer gambling and that causes them to be depressed.

Therapies and activity center or rehab are the choices that can be a solution too those who no longer control their gambling addiction. They say making extra activities can help but most often we still need some encouragement and companion to make it happen.

I'm not a doctor and I have not consumed this myself, but my wife is a licensed psychiatrist and tells me that Quetiapine (Brand: Seroquel) is sometimes used for people who have a gambling addiction, albeit in very low doses.

It's actually an antipsychotic that's also used as a sleeping aid, but it also helps you to control certain urges.

I'm sure there are many more options and some say that therapy might be a better one than relying on meds.

Magic what?
There is no magic. If you want to quit you will quit. If you don't won't to quit then you won't.

I also paid attention on that magic bottle. I wonder what it is, what kind of medicine is that. What this magic bottle do, where you can buy it, and how much does it cost?
There is no magic for sure, this is some drug for calming down, something like heroine maybe, but that is not just calming down you can lose ability to pay attention on the game, for that reason I hope its not something hallucinogenic, that would be funny gambling.
If anyone have problem with controlling emotions in gambling the best advice is to stop with that activity, find something else to do in free time, or you can become addicted very fast.

maybe that OP asked is about a medicine that will make our body is not feeling tired so we can playing gambling for a long time but this medicine is not good and will makes us addicted with that medicine. the best that we can do is controlling our mind and our body to not being addicted in gambling games so we don't have to used any of medicine except we are really sick because of disease.

OP just wanted to know if ever of you guys did take some kind of medicines or maybe drug to control he's impulsive gambling. I don't think there's a medicines for that impulsive gambling, but my best advice is just learn to control yourself from doing it. Set a certain limits or try to make yourself busy into something where you can stop thinking about gambling. Do some regular exercises to refresh your minds, it will help to remove all of those toxic like that pushes you to be an impulsive gambler.

[nelmari]

Oh gosh no, and I hope I won't reach to that level however I did try to take some sleeping pills once or twice because I can't stop playing on some casino sites and couldn't sleep so I just had to take one.

Do you feel the effect? What you mean is an energy drink that can make us not tired of standing or sitting too long when play gambling. Honestly I think it's very unreasonable we need a such drink.

If Magic Bottle is an energy drink then you are absolutely right, the last thing we need to control our impulsive gambling is an energy drink.

However when I tried to google it I haven't found any energy drink with that name. Maybe OP means something else like a soothing drink for example?

well I'm also thinking this one mate as doctors and psychiatrist have some option to control anything inside our minds and bodies, I think that it will help to keep the balance and for the gambling addicts to think properly but I don't have any idea for any name or brand so ill be going to check this out. thanks

[serjent05]

I have not tried any kind of medicine or medication to control impulsive gambling since I am not that kind of gambler, though I have read lots of people undergoing medication but have not heard anyone taking some medicine to control his implulsive gambling.  I do not think that any medicine can help control impulsive gambling except sleeping pills.

After a bottle of vodka I certainly feel less like going to a casino, they'd probably kick me out anyway, and I wouldn't remember my logins and passwords, so playing online is not the best option either

They are turning one disease into another, but nobody cares. People are usually happy as long as that new one has less symptoms, or symptoms you can handle.

It is the case with all the allopathy medicine,every drug has a side effect and if you are consuming it too much then it will cause further problems for your body. I am not sure these drugs will change anything,if anyone wants to control his bad habits then he have to make an effort and concentrate on other things.

I would never use those medicine just to control myself in playing gambling because I'm not like that kind of player.  As far as I know, both drug addicts and problem gamblers endure symptoms of withdrawal when separated from the chemical or thrill they desire.Some people are especially vulnerable to both drug addiction and impulsive gambling undergo medication.

Thats right mate in terms of controlling that bad habits the person itself should take it seriously since even with medicine if that person doesnt have any effort he will just keep coming back and that medicine will just be wasted without any results.
