    Newbie on Topamax

    Ok, I read the book and am doing the sups plus the CDs at night.....my top won't come until another 7-10 days........ I am starting to wonder...

    Does it really work and help? I am listening and reading to those that are struggling big time and are doing everythng that they should.

    I am afraid. I don't want to end up like this. I really want to stop drinking and be healthy.....
    Can anyone share their positives with me????:new:

    Newbie on Topamax

    Hi and welcome.

    I've been taking Topa for three weeks. I'm up to 75mg. I should be dosing up to 100 mg, but I am still waiting for my next shipment from River Pharmacy. I'm having the usual side affects. Most obviously is word loss. I can't think of a word I want to say. It's like I have that constant "on the tip of my tongue" feeling. And I can't remember how to spell things, and I'm a great speller, (those are the worst side affects). I still drink pretty regularly, but I can't drink as much (less than a bottle of wine). So that's a good thing. I hope as I dose up, I won't feel the need to drink as often. I'm going to stick with Topa up to 300mg. or as long as it doesn't make me feel to loopy, to see if it has positive affects. No pill offers the magic cure. It has be mind over matter, but it can't help to have a little boost. Hang in there. Take it one day at a time, and be proud of every little baby step that you make toward improving the quality of your life. You've the first step in the right direction by putting it out there and talking about it. Let me know how you do with the Topamax. I'm curious how it works everyone. There's not a lot of regular conversation here about it. Good luck.

      Dear Julie,

      As for regular conversation, if you take a look through the bits and pieces of the long thread on Topa, I know it's a lot to read, but there's loads of bits and pieces you can gather. So there has been quiet some discussion on Topa. It just takes a bit of digging.
