First dose of Topa today....

[liveandbreathe]

Okay, I took my first dose of Topa about five minutes ago and am drinking lots of water and chilling out this weekend.

Here's a question....does Topa have a "come on" effect when it hits your system? In other words, am I going to expect double vision, or fatigue, or "trippiness" or anything of the like?

I am not one for drugs so I am doing this for the alcohol issue, obviously. If anyone has any "nopes" or "yeps" to this question, I would appreciate hearing about it.

I think the anticipation of it "kicking in" has got me a bit uptight.

live, nope is the answer for me. you wont have an OMG I just took that topa pill I promise. You wont even notice anything probably. I will promise that it will help you not crave alcohol. I've gone over a year without drinkin. Topa has helped me tremendously. Can't wait to see your progress.

I agree with gabby, you wont notice anything. When I was on it a couple of days into it I drank a soda, and that is when i noticed the side effect of it making pop taste wierd.

Sounds fine to me...

Thank you both for your prompt input....I suppose I was waiting for the ceiling to turn purple and start spinning.

At any rate, I will keep you all posted to my progress. So thanks. I really appreciate the support I get here.

I just took my first 125 mg of topa, up from 100 mg. I'll let you know if I see pink elephants. :H

Wowza!

Okay, no pink elephants thankfully in the middle of the night .

Oddly, and I'll call this a coincidence, but I'd been doing the L-Glutamine, etc and had maybe a glass of wine last night after my first Topa. Perhaps 4 ounces. I usually drink about 4 - 6 "stiff" hard liquors a night. Perhaps it's the relief of having the prescription in hand, or the motivation to just get it done, or the Topa, or a combination.

Whatever it is, I'll keep posting to my progress.

Also, a great sleep and I didn't cap off my drinks (a conscious decision - pardon the pun) with the usual antihistamine or two to ensure I didn't wake up from the booze-effect with dry mouth and horrible thirst in the middle of the night.
