Mixing Generic Topa

[livingfree]

Question for those who order Topa on line.
I ordered the 25 mg. from River Pharm. (They came in White tabs stamped with Top/25)
I also ordered the 50 mg from Aclepsa. (They came blue - no markings)

My question is this - do you think it's okay to take one generic blue 50 mg with one white 25 mg ? Does anyone out there have any experience with this?

I ordered this way because River didn't have the 50's and I didn't know if I'd ever get up to the 100's and Aclepsa was less expensive. Now I wish I would have just ordered all from River Pharm - but now I have both. if anyone has mixed these two generics without any problems or without reducing the effectivness or increasing problems I would love to hear from you!

I currently am on 50 mg in the afternoon. Next week will be adding 25 mg in the morning. So far I am loving the topa. No bad side effects. More difficult side effects from the supplements than the meds - but I am committed to healing this torn down body - so am putting up with a messed up digestive system! That seems to slowly be getting better!

Hi Living,

I have purchased once from River but it took so long and customs made a mess of my package I was not impressed! It appears they ship from india and the tablets I recieved were as you described them so I think they are Ok. As for Aclepsia I have heard some not so good reports not about quality of the meds but delievery times and not recieving goods ect. I recently read a post (sorry cant rember where but troll through the meds section) that they have gone belly up and are no longer operating so if you purchased from them just before this what you recieved may be questionable. I dont want to alarm you and I hope some one else with more accurate advice posts here with some info for you. By the way I live in OZ and purchase from In House Pharmacy they are bloody expensive but because they ship from my neck of the woods delivery is real quick no customs hassles and the product Australian equivalent made by Johson and Johnson the 100mg which is what i am taking is a brown color with "top" written on the back and 100 on the flip side. They come in the proper Janssen-Cilag box that you would recieve if purchased at the chemist. For me the massive cost is worth knowing I am getting good stuff and when put into perspective in relation to how much I was spending on alcohol worth every cent. By the way I have no problem in saying this drug is saving my life 13 days al free with next to zero cravings after 20 plus years of heavy drinking every day. I am so relieved but I not delusional. A long long way to go one day at a time as every one keeps reminding us.

All the best

Danny

Thanks danny - I won't be ordering from Aclepsa again - now I'm wondering if I should just throw away the blue generic topa from Aclepsa just to be safe. I hate throwing all that money down the drain - but again - it is my brain were talking about here and that has a big price tag on it doesn't it!

Congrats Danny on your success. I am on day 47 AF and it feels better and better every day! I can hardly believe it - after 20 years myself!

If anyone else has any experience on this - jump in here!

Hi Living and Danny,
I bought Topa through Aclepsa, and it took several weeks to arrive. I was really excited once it did, and started taking it a few months ago, but had a bad experience with it. I took it (the blue 50 mg.) while I was still drinking daily, and experienced bad stomach cramps, restless sleep, and acne breakouts. At 48, I haven't had skin problems in many years, either, and so I finally gave up on it.

I started Campral 13 days ago, and have been AF for all 13 days, but when I started reading the book with all the good reports about Topa, I started to think I was missing out on something, even if it was just the weight loss. I'm 5' 3" and 120, but am stretching the seams of most of my clothes. Again, I had the same experience with the Topa, if not worse, since I'm not drinking at all now. Very restless sleep, stomach cramps, felt bad the next day, and didn't take more than one this time. Problem is that I like to buy in bulk to get a good buy, so I have over 160 that I can't use. Maybe there's someone on here that can use them.

I see what you mean about the prices of In House Pharmacy, Danny. I checked them out the other day. I'd still like to try a quality version of Topa, even if I have to ask my doctor. I was hoping for it when I went two weeks ago, but he prescribed Campral. Fortunately for the cravings, the Campral, along with GABA, mulit Amino Acids and L-Glutamine, I've done well. My evening coctail is my usual Crystal Light that used to be mixed with vodka, but is now mixed with GABA. :0)

Thanks wanna for your insight & past experience. I too - bought in bulk - as I wanted the discount - now I am sitting with all these blue tabs and not sure what to do! So you are on the camp or the topa right now? I started the supplements about a month before the topa and had all the stomach symptoms you are describing. I have felt they were the intensive vitamin/mineral etc shocking my system! My digestive system is starting to settle down now. Keep me posted
