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'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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
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.

usually the medicine to control the people who became an addicted only available on rehabilitation center and i don't know if these medicine exist or not but if they're really exist i think only for those who became heavy addicted already trying that but fortunately i wasn't ever try it before
In my opinion, there is existing meds for treating addiction problem. This medicine is same as morphine that used to calm the patient. Gambling addiction might lead to serious disorder once it is not treat early. Many says that it is not a big deal but in reality this cause a total devastation on a life of a person just like what on the resort world manila philippines.

I have seen people being sent to rehabilitation center for gambling addiction. I don't think there are drugs that can affect your gambling mind. You can try psychic drugs to keep yourself calm.
no of course there is no that kind drugs could affect to your gambling problem.

but when you have sent to a rehabilitation there is an activity and some drugs where actually it could help you out to deal with your bad habit in gambling indirectly. mental illness because gambling also requires some drugs to the therapy to recover your problem faster.

No. And I don't know if there is ever such medicine to begin with. I think to be able to really quit gambling addiction, You don't need a medicine. Its a mental issue so what you need is a lot of self control and put yourself to do other things so that you will not think about gambling all the time. Of course support from family members and love ones as well.I know some who has totally quit. He went to his old hobby of collection, collecting stamps and the last time we talk he can already forgot about his gambling addiction. So I know it works without needing medicine. IMHO.

It is my first time to hear that there is a medicine  that we can take to control impulsive gambling but I don't think this will be effective. For me if you want to slow down in gambling you have to discipline yourself its you alone can help you with that problem. Rehabilitation Center only help you with the process but if you're not willing to stop deep inside in your heart even if how many times you enter in rehabilitation center then it won't still work out.

No, I've never gone to that extent of addiction. For gambling addiction is there any medicine available in the market. I've come across medicines for the drug addiction. Other than that several supplements are available to limit the usage of alcohol and smoking.
To stop drug addiction and smoking, alcohol addiction we have medicine, and there is a separate treatment for this kind of habits. But for gambling addiction, i did not find any medicine in any medical shop. And doctors also just advice how to control our self, but they will not give us any medicine. I think to control our tension we have medicine. Maybe this will work for gambling addiction. Yes, the addicted gamblers are always under big pressure. I am not sure I just guessed.

i don't use any medicine to control impulsive gambling because i think its not good for our healthy. maybe for short term, we will not feel the affect but in long term, i believe that our body will get the pain and its more pain than loss in the gambling games. its not good to use this medicine and we should stay away from this medicine.
