    Has anyone tried the program w/o presc meds

    Just finished reading the book. I want to pursue a goal of moderation and the program sounds good. However, I'm unsure about the topiramate part for two reasons:
    1. I may have trouble getting my doctor to go along with it
    2. Some of the side effects.

    Has anyone tried the rest of the program without the prescription meds and how did it work out?

    Any feedback would be appreciated. :new:

    Phantom,
    Try it without meds and see.
    I'm no poster child for the program, however I do believe the supps and CD's work great.
    I did a trial to test myself with them and they seemd to work. Once I get my life into better order I will give it another try without meds. The CD's take dedication, but are worth it.

      I have done just the CDs and supplements and they have worked great, esp. the Kudzu you can buy here (much, much higher quality than other sources). I try to listen to the CDs at night right before bed. I was skeptical at first but they really helped me. Hope it works out for you.

        Thanks KB. I can't do it for a few months as my wife has seriously overbooked us with travel and houseguests. But I've blocked out two weeks on the calendar to try it. I will also see what my Dr. thinks about the meds.

        Thanks,

          Hi and welcome. I didn't want to go to my doctor either so I ordered to Topa online when I began. Now I find that the Kudzu, L Glut and CD's work as well.

          Best of luck to you

            Thanks everyone. I plan to wait until I can do the program the right way, but I've blocked it out on my calendar. Plan to limp along as best I can until then. Fortunately, I won't be in a lot of high risk situations in the near future.

              Hi Phantom, give this your best shot. The book was written out of success and the supps, and CD's are the best tools you can get. Presciption meds of topomax, campral etc. are excellent aids. You can do this.:welcome:

                I find that the kudzu is very effective for me so I've not used the topa at all. Good luck, this is a great plan. Welcome.

                  Hi Phanton,

                  I'm not on prescribed meds purely because I work alongside the GP practice and am too ashamed for them to know, I KNOW it is not shamefull and am sure they would be very supportive of me if I did speak to them but I really really don't want anyone at my work to know, feel it would make me vulnerable in some way (?)... Have thought about changing GP but .... may be sometime soon I will. I do take Kudzo and Vits but not as religiously as I should, another plan starting today is to get into a proper routine and take the pills seriously. Good luck, let us know how you get on with whatever you decide to take.

                    Try it without the meds & see if that works, if it doesn't~see a doc about getting a script for either Topa or Campral (some do that instead of Topa for cravings) & if your doc won't do it there are several suggestions for links to get Topa via the internet w/o a script. Good luck & keep us posted on your progress.

                      Hi Phantom and :welcome:

                      I was so inspired by this website that after reading and absorbing everything for a few weeks I decided that was it - I ordered the tapes and Kudzu to get started, but as they would have taken some time to get here and I didn't want to wait - I stopped drinking just on the strength of all the fabulous people here and making some adjustments to life style- Have the kudzu now for back up and in case of emergencies, and have just started the tapes to give an added dimension - but I've found that, having tried for years to moderated and give up, this time the time was right. So just try, keep an open mind and find what works for you...
                      Warmest wishes,

                        Phantom,
                        I do the program without the prescription meds...and although I do still have "bad" days, I am able to go 10-13 days at a time AF. It can be done without them.
