HI Kathchant!
A Kiwi Neighbour here,,,
I know of someone that has tried this. It was somewhat un successful as they are gambling now more then ever.
I think the side effects (Stomach issues, nausea etc) gave a pretty easy excuse for why to stop taking them. In relation to gambling I dont feel it would help me as the endorphins are not the only reason I gamble.
Because gambling has some many other triggers I feel the numbing of endorphins would not help in my own recovery. I tend to gamble to get happy, when I am happy, when Im bored, when Im broke or when I have money the medication wouldnt remove the cravings from these scenarios.
For me its just about one day at a time, and finding my triggers and preparing in advance for when they hit. I wish there was an easier way to stop by I am yet to find one!
