Hi, I am determined to quit drinking, but I've said that so many times. This site has really encouraged me. From what I've read you people sound wonderful.

I have my yearly physical in three days and would like to show my doc some papers on tamo. can any one help me?

Thanks:new:

Welcome -- There is a lot of support here! Download the book -- there is good information here on Topamax. I think that is what you want. I took it to my doctor and she prescribed it for me -- I am using it and have been alcohol free for 22 days now -- no side effects for me EXCEPT I am experiencing hair thinning...not good. I am also doing all the other things in the book -- supplements, CDs, exercise, good nutrition, etc. I hope this helps!

There IS hope. Glad you are here!!

Thanks for answering so fast!

I've been reading on this site for about 4 hrs. I'm still doing a lot of research, I take zoloft every day and am wondering if I should just the supplaments. I'm currently on 4 medications for blood pressure and it's really scary. Also I smoke. Just great. My mom died of lung disease and my father of alcoholism. But I'm pretty determined.

Thanks again!

I felt better this morning! Have been taking kudzu for three days and it seems to be helping, or maybe it's all inmy head' which is fine too.
For years I have drank beer with vodka shots evering evening til I pretty much passed out. decided to try weaning myself off, was scared of the withdrawals....so bought the tiny bottles of vodka and am down to 6 beers and two vodkas. Pretty good for me! Has anyone else tried this ? Did it work?
Anyway spent $88 on supplements and am popping them as I write.
Thanks for all the support friends, and I 'll my best to help myself and others. I kind of think that that's the way to go.
