Hey guys
Just wondering - for those of you who take topa
I am noticing - as I am really getting used to my dose (still at 125mg - tried to go up to 150 mg but found a little bit of the dopa coming back and I cant have that right now with my job because some major projects are going on, so I have to be sharp)..but I digress.
...One of the nicest things I have noticed about the topa (other than, of course, reducing how much I drink, decreasing how much I want to drink in a sitting, decreased cravings - notice i do not say NO CRAVINGS - because we all know its not only about taking a pill!..)is that I find a general "calming" feeling in my brain....
Do other people taking topa find this? I find this very pleasant - and it really helps me to refrain, or delay drinking...or drink less than I used to. Could this be from the topa working on the gaba (increasing the gaba in the brain?) and decreasing the glutamate (which causes the "excitement" of the craving as I understand it)? (Dont know if anyone can answer this or even if its important, I just like to know how these things work...)
Do other people find this?
Hugs
