    How much L-Glute?

    I might have missed it, but I just started my topamax on Saturday and saw in the book that the Kudzu was 3 times per day, but how much L-glute do I take? Is it the same amount?

    Also, I'm a beer drinker and had a few beers yesterday and now I know why people cut back...it tasted just like plain soda water...it was awful! Is that normal side effect of the topa and will it go away? I'm just looking to become a modder (if possible) and cut out my Mon-thurs drinking. but want to have a few on the weekends, but if it will taste awful I might be AF! Ya never know!

    Thanks,

    I really wish I had the side effects of the bad taste. I haven't noticed it. Was it beer in a can? Wine tastes the same, just want it less.
    I think you take the L-Glut once a day. The recommendation is a.m., but I've heard that you should take it when cravings are worst. I take mine in the evening and I do notice it helps. If you ordered the pills from MWO, you take 1 pill. If you're taking powder, I'm not sure how much.

      The beer was in a bottle...but I just had my first soda/diet coke and it tastes the same too...just really bubbly but not any flavor. Oh great! Thank goodness my Starbuck this morning tasted the same. I guess it is the fizzy stuff. Might just be the time to quit soda too since the news on Friday said it cuts your life expectancy by 1/4. (like AL, like caffeine, like everything else in life it seems ;-) )

      As far as the L-Glut, I have the pills, I bought 1 bottle from the MWO store. I thought I saw someone saying to take upwards of 3, but don't want to OD on them. I feel like I'm on too many pills as it is.

      Thanks 4!

        The best place to get answers on L-Glut is on the Holistic Health Forum.

              Emcee, when I started Topa, I was a Guinness drinker - the type in the can and it just tasted so odd - same with my diet soda, so the Topa sort of took care of me modding (which had been my original intention with the drinking), as my only drink WAS the Guinness. I would sometimes (very rarely) have some Brandy in a coffee - which I then did for a few evenings when the Guinness just wasn't hacking it for me, but then finally got to the point where I thought "Why am I doing this?" and the rest as they say - is history! AF now since mid Jan!!

              I ended up on one soda each morning too - but that has gradually gone back up to two or sometimes three now, and it tastes fine! I have had hardly any side effects from the Topa and think it is just wonderful! Good luck with it!

                Thanks Sunshine! How much Topa are you currently taking now? I'm only on day 3, so on 25MG, but SUPER Sleepy from this stuff! Man o Man! It certainly curbs my urges some. My brain still wants it, but I fight the urge more. I didn't think I would this quickly and quite frankly disappointed that beer tastes bad to me now. :-( I really just want to mod. I do like wine so I may try to see this weekend how that tastes.

                I just want this SLEEPINESS to go away! Does it ever pass?

                  Hi there - I am up to 150 mg twice a day - am and pm - I take my pm dose quite early - around 4-5 or else I do find I am sleepy the next morning (i get up pretty early) but when I get up and take my am dose I don't have a problem with it during the day - odd! It never made me sleepy when I took it at the beginning - I think in the book, there are things that they suggest for you to take to counteract various side effects of the Topa.

                  How much were you drinking and how much did you want to mod to? Why did you want to mod anyway? As I had said that was my original plan, but with the Topa, I really had no desire for a drink at all. You can always drink through that 'no desire' feeling, but I think I remember someone on here saying that if you continue doing that, eventually the Topa loses it's effect. I think anyway - maybe I misread it, but I think that is what I remember! When are you supposed to titrate up to 50mg? Maybe you should stay on 25 if it is making you so sleepy and see if your body gets used to it a little more?

                  Just a thought.....

                    Sunshine - I am supposed to go up to 50MG on Saturday. I really hope this sleepiness thing passes. I guess I should be thankful for it - for it is better to be tired then to be wrecking my body with alcohol nightly.

                    I was drinking during the weekdays usually a bottle of wine a night, if there was any beer around, I'd grab one of them after the wine was gone. I just could not stop once I started which is why I say I want to "mod" - on the weekends my husband and I get an 18-pack of beer each night and it is gone each morning! So pretty much 8 or 9 each night on the weekends. That is A LOT! No wonder I've put on 10 pounds! Anyhow, I really don't want to stop so to speak, because I enjoy just sitting back and having a few w/my hubby - going out for wings and beer or to tailgate at football games (I'm in Florida and college football here is HUGE!) and just want to be able to know when to stop! I honestly don't know if I will be able to do that on Topa though. Meaning, it should be all or none. Last night I bought those little 4 pack single sizes of wine to see if I would like it (could always give away the rest if not). Thing is...I really didn't even want to drink, but out of habit I grabbed that glass and off I went. I drank all four! I actually feel like the topa makes me get less of a buzz - which is dangerous!

                    So the good news - Topa makes me crave less. Bad news - I still drank....stupid stupid stupid (wine tastes fine to me). Tonight is a Cinco De Mayo party with my whole office after work...I won't drink and drive so I will see how I do then with everyone around me drinking.

                    Thanks for all your feedback!
