To clarify, this is my 2nd week on Topa - just started taking 75 mgs on Monday after titrating up. I drink about a bottle a night most weeknights & sometimes more...you know the translations that 1 glass of wine = 4 oz. I don't use those measurements either just threw that 5-7 glasses out there as a number. A spade is a spade.
I am trying to let TOPA do its thang, but I really feel nothing out of the ordinary yet. Thanks to all these posts though, I am feeling a new hope and am going to try and sortof "slow it down" and listen for the subtlies within, if that makes any sense.
If nothing else, I am really hoping the appetitite suppressant kicks in b/c I gained weight on BAC and it won't let go no matter what I do it seems!! UGH - this week very light eating and drinking, heavy duty stress and job factor - weight loss ZERO!! Made me crazy. Something's gotta give!! I am seriously praying/pleading to God (and I am not a prayer person so this speaks volumes)daily to PLEASE make this work for me - so with all this plus the handfuls of vitamins I am choking down...I am not even afraid of the SEs anymore.
What I do notice in front of my audience I speak to is not a loss of word/words but rather that I repeat myself or if I do have a loss, I have been doing this so long, I quickly find a substitute phrase or something. It hasn't been a problem, but I am noticing a teensy change in the snap factor, if that makes sense. Hasn't really been a problem, just thought - oh ok - this is no big deal at all!! It's more of a pronunciation issue. I mispronounce words & correct myself. It's a little annoying but only to me, I think. I hope! LOL I don't have problem with that at all.
It's late - am thinking of upping to 100 mgs in a day or so. I want to get this show on the road. So glad we have so many posting here. I think it helps :-))
