Starting on a new list of meds

[Cinders]

I simply could not tolerate the topa. It affected me mentally in ways that is actually hurting my work. I titrated down slowly and got off of it.

However, I did not want to give up, so I went back to my doctor. He was very kind. I explained that the few days I have done AF has really pointed out that anxiety is a big piece of my problem.

So, he has put me on Campral, Naltroxene and Lexapro.

He has told me the Lexapro will not kick in for 4 to 7 weeks, so I will have to tough out the anxiety part for a while.

However, I am hopeful that the Campral and Naltrexone will help me through these early days.

Wish me luck, everyone, I am so determined to get to the Long Term AF stage!!

(I also do the l-glut, the kudzu doesn't help me at all.)

Good luck with those DB,

I encountered some problems with Topa too but have read often that peoples experiences with it differs when they try a second time. I have some left so may try again.

Hi Deebee,

That's a really similar mix to what I was on when I was able to pull it together and stop drinking. I started on Naltrexone, then moved to Campral - had been on anti-depressants anyway.

The campral is a really excellent drug for stopping cravings dead in thier tracks. I've just come of it, after 8 months, and have NO cravings at all.

The Lexapro will really help with the anxiety, and the similar craving feeling.
