Kaddy yes pat yourself and be proud of what you have already done. You can beat the urges. I did not spend a lot of money on Topa or the Kudzu, but did get St John's Wort and Omega 3-6-9 (local walgreens) and yesterday when I felt the demons haunting in my head took two St John's and they went away. I kept busy do you have something to busy your mind and body so you get your thoughts off of the urges? We are here for you and like it has already been said from Jacqui stay with us we will beat the beasts away!!!

Kaddy, I asked about the Topomax because I wont to try it and the CD's but can't afford them at this time. I have to start on a seven day Antibotic regimon in wich I will not be able to drink..I haven't gone longer than 3 day's in a long time and afraid I won't be able to do it. I am going to get the Topomax soon and hope and pray it works.

I have the Kudzu but I don't take it all during the day. When I get the "urge," I take two sometimes three of them. For me it seems to control the urge. HTH!

I take one omega 3-6-9 in the morn suggestions say 2 I am not one to take too much of anything (well except drinking I guess) the St Johns Wort I take at night since that is when I drink and have the urges so when I get home I take 2 and I am good all night long as long as I keep busy the pills do help me a lot. ((HUGS)) you can do this Kaddy

Yes let me know how it works for you. Warning I think the St Johns Wort since it is a mood enhancing supplement does something to your eyes since every night hubby keeps syaing look at me and he looks at my eyes and goes did you drink something, what did you take today LOL I do not take any pills/drugs (I do not even take aspirin for headaches) other than these supps and milk thistle and dandilion both also really great as they help clean out your liver, blood and bile. So funny every night he asks everynight I say St Johns lol so they must be doing something they make me feel more at peace and relaxed and obviously make me look at peace too hee hee

I took St. John's Wort for many months when I first went AF.

The only side effect I had was sensitivity to light. Even on an over cast day.

I took 3 capsules a day for the maximum benefit.

I no longer take them - but they really helped me in the beginning - I was on them from Nov. 2006 until August 2007. I took one in the AM/Lunch/Bedtime.

I also took a lot of other vitamins to get my body up to snuff again. Focusing on Vitamin B's and the Omega's primarly. Eating really well will also help you tremendously in beating the beast. Lots of whole grains and protiens.
