Help on Topamax please

[karend2]

Hello:

I moved up to 75mgs today. I am 5'6", 135 pds. How long will it take to feel no cravings. Right now I have a funny taste in my mouth. Still feel like having a glass of wine or two. But not "craving". Any insight would be helpful. What else are people doing besides taking the meds to stay sober or moderate?:thanks:

I think it totally depends on the person what their ideal dosage is to help curb cravings. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with weight and the right amount for you. Some people find that just 25 to 50mg helps curb cravings. Others find it to be higher. I was able to stay at 75mg for quite awhile and ended up going as high as 150mg.

But it has to be a complete mindset because it is possible to "drink through" the topa. Watch your triggers, set limits and goals and TAKE THE SUPPLEMENTS! Read the book if you haven't.

Keep us posted.

Drink A BUNCH of water. Help it along with the supps and anything that will make you not want to drink. Candy, ice cream what ever it takes till you find the right strength of topa. The topa isnt gonna do it all for you. You gotta help it too. Also get the l-glut capsules and put that under your tounge. That helps a lot.

Thanks everyone

I am noticing that I am not drinking as much as fast! But you're right, I do need to have to WANT to quit. I'll go buy to glutamine too. That will help I think. Thanks everyone!:rays:
