Sailor, just like you I started Topamax this past Sunday - 25 mg. - along with some of the supps. I have gone from at least 2 bottles of wine per day/evening (I work from home and at the moment my husband lives in an other state for work, so it was easy) in the last 2 years to less than a glass tonight - never thought it could happen this easily! And I have been drinking my entire adult life to various degrees, as I work in an industry that has a lot of drinking involved.
I really built up motivation for the program and a belief in Topamax before starting, maybe this helps.
Going thru major stress right now, great excuse for drinking - even so, I do not feel the craving, and am focused on becoming healthy again. I hear that eventually you will be able to get off Topamax the same way you got on, and if it is working so well for you at only 25 mg. you may never have to go to 300 mg. On this site, I have read many people that find that 50 mg/100 mg work well for them, and eventually they taper off.
Good luck to us all!
