wasnt sure where to post this
I feel just wonderful
After about 6 years of trying to turn my will over to god ( I am an athiest ) I have finally found a way to get control and see a way out of this terrible habit that was ruining my life. The effect of the Topa was almost immediate and the hypnosis tapes came in just a few days and are very effective too. I especially like the short hypnotic suggestion one which I am using once or twice a day. I have a few questions though about the program.

1. I don't hear any voices on the sleep learning tape, am I suppose to?

2. I think I am inclined to stay on the 25 mg of Topo twice a day. Why should I increase the dose if this low dose is effective?

I now feel very confident that I have a bright future and can make realistic plans. Thank you for this site.

Songbird, You are not suppose to hear any voices on the sleep learning. I think it is to reinforce the hypnotic. I'm not sure about the topa other than you might get used to the small doses. I asked this question before, but never really got an answer. I'm on day 15 without it and don't plan on using unless cravings get too strong or I'm not able to moderate without. Anyhow I will only use enough that feels necessary because I don't like the side effects. Stay strong I hear that three weeks into it can be tough. Keep up the good work. I'm with you on this great feeling of a clear head and lots of energy. Keke

Great Job and continued success. I used topa a year and a half ago. My doc told me to increase my dosage if I began to notice stronger cravings. Be sure to increase gradually, though. Always best to check with your medical provider who prescribed the topa.

Am not taking it now. I am 25 days AF. Life just gets better.

Well done on 10 days! I think if the dosage you're on is working fo you then stick with it - that way you can get all the good effects without the side effects. You can always adjust it in the future if need be. There's a very good thread by 'Paddy' in the meds section which discusses topa in detail including lots of posts about dosage, effects and side effects.

thanks all. I had noted in the first few days some problems with words and did drive past my turns 3 times and that alarmed me because my work requires attention to details and words! I will stay on the lowest effective dose. I guess there are no words on the sleep tape. I had wondered if mine was defective!

Kiri, First of all congratulations on 10 days AF!!!! Wow! good for you. A question, are you listening to the Hypno CD's in your car? I ask because it is probably not a good idea to do that. They are subliminal and might cause a lack of focus in the present moment, in fact you want them to work like that!

Continued success to you!
