The book (Patrick Holdfolrd) suggests 4g's in the morning and again in the evening.

Do you think it has helped at all Starts?

Hello. I wanted to stop the bourbon and cigarettes at the same time so I did in October. I'd quit smoking so many times over the years, sometimes as long as several years, but would always go back. When? On a drunk, of course. That's why I wanted to tackle both issues concurrently. It's been over four months. I worked up to 200 mG of Topa, and slowly backed down to 25. I allow myself wine occasionally, and have had about four or five glasses since October.

A couple of people discouraged me from tackling two vices at once, but they seemed so intertwined that it made sense - in my head anyway.

Oh, I meant to say that Chantix worked for my smoking as well as the Topa worked for the drinking. I have a great family doctor. My shrink was ...eh. I am now off the Chantix and almost ready to completely drop the Topa. I kept a log of my drinking diligently and was good about taking all of the vitamins and supplements, but I was not good about listening to the CD's or exercising.
