Special Experience in Research and the Treatment of Alcoholism: I have treated well over 1,000 patients in my clinical practice with problems with alcohol abuse and dependence. Although for many of these the treatment was one of brief stabilization before referral to alcoholism counseling programs, as Clinical Director of mental health centers in Hazard and Elizabethtown, Kentucky, I supervised community residential alcoholism treatment programs. I have detoxified well over 200 patients with benzodiazepines who were suffering from alcohol withdrawal. I have prescribed disulfiram to hundreds of patients over the past 17 years. I have now treated over 100 patients with a combination of disulfiram and diazepam compounded in the same capsule as a part of my clinical practice of medicine since August the 10th of 1990 starting the first patients on the combination of these two medications in separate tablet form on August the 1st as part of a treatment approach for alcoholism. My initial treatment success with the combination medication treatment has led me to conclude that the combination medication treatment is very likely of significant additional treatment benefit for patients with alcohol dependence. My initial routine practice of medicine experience with these two medications has found only drowsiness and difficulty driving to be significant side-effects although two patients have developed peripheral neuropathy and one experienced a rage reaction. I have found that by using smaller doses of diazepam than initially expected and by close clinical supervision with appropriate warnings, side-effects can usually be avoided. I have had perhaps twenty patients drink on top of the combination medication. Their reactions were very similar to patients of mine drinking on top of plain disulfiram. I have been very pleased that the large majority of patients having a reaction were willing to resume the combination medication treatment. This is the opposite of my experience with plain disulfiram in such situations. Of my first 28 patients on the combination treatment, 61% were abstinent at an average of 6 weeks of treatment. The patients were much more likely to be living alone and unemployed that those reported in other recent disulfiram trials, suggesting that the success rate is probably better than would have been achieved with plain disulfiram. I am sure that the success rate will decrease with time still further, but compared to my success with plain disulfiram in the past, I think that it is possible that the combination medication is proving superior, at least initially, to the plain disulfiram and merits a carefully controlled double-blind study to determine the actual benefit. A phase II FDA study of disulfiram-chlordiazepoxide was approved and IRB approval from Western IRB was obtained. However, the study was canceled by myself due to personal difficulties. Unfortunately, no pharmaceutical company was able to be found to follow through with the next phase II study.
