    Going off Topa....

    Thought I would post this for those on TOPA.

    Well, I have been on Topamax for a few months. In fact, this is the second time I have been on it. The first time I was trying to Moderate.. no luck. I quit taking it and moderating last year for a few months and was back to my regular drinking pattern.

    Two months ago I started taking it again, but know my goal was ABS. I had a lot of emotional situation over the holidays, but decided to finally quit Jan 5th. I am only taking 50mgs in the evening, and haven't had any cravings. I really think this has to do with my mental focus to be a non-drinker. But, I am sure the TOPA helped in the begining.

    Anyway, I have been sick for the past 4 days and haven't taken the TOPA. I have no physical or mental cravings. I'm feeling better, so this week will be telling.

    I have 37 days AF, and I know it is early, but I really don't want to be on any medication. I will keep an eye on it and let you know how I am doing.... But, I think with all the other positive changes I can do without...

        I think you're doing great as well MM!
        I 100% agree with you about being in the right mindset. I was on topa for almost a year.

        It helped, but my mind was not focused and I certainly could drink through it.

        Now I am trying with supps and a good mindset.
        Good for you!

          You are in such a good 'headspace' right now.... and you seem to be doing so wonderfully with your AF time.

          I agree, the supplements and a good mindset works wonders!
