Day 4

[kslc2001]

This is my day 4 AF. I was able to moderate, (1-2 glasses of wine a day) with just the supplements but the doc wanted me to abstain for 2 months He asked me what would persuade me. "Topomax" was my response. I eventually got the drug on Friday and that was a good job, as the day had been hoorendous with me pining for wine almost as soon as I got into work (which is somehing I never do.) at 11am

When I returned home, I hadn't planned on taking any T till the next day but my body said otherwise. The result, (as in the MWO book) was almost instantaneous!! i got busy with chores and forot I wanted anything to drink. I had a hard time believing it!! The next day i took it at lunch time, as before, a 1/2 dose of 12.5 mg but wasn't too happy when the evening 'wine time' arrived. i took another Kudzu, put on the subliminal cd and found the craving dissipating. Yesterday i was invited out round friends where i knew that alcohol would be avail, but even seeing bottles of wine that had been recorked didn't tempt me. i made my self a TNG, (Tonic No Gin) and is something that I'm looking forward to having to night whilst sitting out on my balcony reading I'm sleeping better than i have in years and I'm exhausted Go figure

Day 4

I like the 'TNG' had it myself last night. I think I've had every sort of soft drink and even tried de-alcoholised wine (horse P). I'm on day eight and everything is getting easier.
Things do feel different, has to be expected I guess, when you throw away your crutches.
The positive is that when you get your balance again it's much easier to get around in the World.

Day 4

kslc that was exactly the way i reacted to topamax. The first dose and I noticed a diminished urge to pick up a drink. I'm close to six months on the med now and doing well on only 50mg/day. With the l-glut and kudzu I feel I can maintain this level. Keep in touch as I do not interact with too many topa members. I wish you all the best!
