    Another note from Dr Ameisen

    Hi all,

    I have received further correspondence from Dr Ameisen. Below is the excerpt I have been asked to post:

    "Here is, word for word, what Dr. Ameisen has asked me to post :



    "Dr Ameisen wishes to urgently inform any alcoholic patient who is currently taking topirarmate (Topamax) to rapidly inform his/her prescribing doctor that this medication can lead to a catastrophic side effect: sudden and permanent blindness. This has been widely covered by prestigious eye-doctors in the most prominent medical journals such as JAMA : It is imperative that patients bring this paper to their prescribing doctors and continue taking topiramate only if their doctor confirms that they should. They should rigoursly follow their doctor's recommendations.

    "Topiramate as Treatment for Alcohol Dependence, January 30, 2008, Spaeth and Mantravadi 299 (4): 405 ?€” JAMA"

    Blindness is a very high price to pay for a medication that, contrary to baclofen, has never been shown to be efficient for one single patient for suppression of alcoholism in the medical literature.

    Ameisen also states that, to the best of his knowledege, and unless proven otherwise, TSM and naltrexone are treatments that, contrary to high-dose baclofen, have NEVER been shown to suppress alcoholism in any single patient in the medical literature. With all due respect for TSM, could any body explain why the authors of the method have not published ONE single success in ANY medical journals ?

    The same applies to acamprosate (Campral). Contrary to my treatment method with baclofen, not one single case of suppression of alcohol dependence has never been describe using this medication.

    My discovery that high-dose baclofen completely suppresses alcoholism, and without effort, was first published, in 2004. My papers have been published in the most prestigious peer-reviewed peer journal. My treatment-method has been immediatelly recognized, by the medical elite : a Nobel prize for medicine, the finest figures in academia and their number is growing very rapidly. Yet is is only since I publihed my own experience in my book "The end of my addiction/Heal Thyself", that hundreds of patients have been rendered "entirely disease-free".

    Best regards,
    Dr. Ameisen"

    Thanks for the info Bleep,
    Luckily I don't take anything so perhaps you could forward this information to Roberta Jewel herself as she rarely drops in these days. Her book is more or less based around Topa treatment.
    Thanks.
    It could be worse, I could be filing.

        It would have to be by PM so if you go to the top of the page when you log in you'll see her name just beside.

          In what year did Dr Ameisen receive his nobel prize? I'm wondering if something has been mixed up here a bit, although not saying he doesn't deserve one, I just didn't think it had happened yet..?

          P.S. Sorry Bleep I didn't mean to sound like I am questioning either you or Dr A, I was just wondering whether Dr A has already received a prize or rather has been nominated for one.

            Greg, you have misunderstood OA, he was referring to Jean Dausset (nobel prize for medicine 1980) recognizing his treatment method.

                You may want to amend the title to include "Must Read for Topa Users!" or something like that. I think this is definitely information that they need to see.

                Thanks for passing along Dr. A's message, bleep!

                  I agree with Isolde. This needs to get out there in an attention grabbing thread title for all topiramate users here and in the newbies section -this is urgent.

                      As far as I know you cant change the title to a thread. You would have to start a new one and copy and paste the info into it....At least I have never seen anyone changing the title of a thread.

                        You may be able to change it via Advanced Edit but I'm not sure, you would probably be able to retype the title and save it, or something similar.

                          This is not new info. It is a rare side effect that has been discussed here before. How nice of the good doctor to send out such an urgent alert on MWO that the MWO program is dangerous, whilst promoting his own program so blatantly. Class act.

                            Does that mean everyone is taking this information as fully researched and obviously truthful? I see it as questionable, to say the least?? If this quote is really word for word of OA then what he is saying is that all research on other medications is bogus? I find that difficult to swallow to be honest. I think before hitting the emergency button one needs to ascertain the truth of these statements.

                            I have known, anecdotal for me........cos I haven't studied the empirical research...that people have been able to become abstinent on other medications. In fact there is testament to that on this forum. And, as far as I know, haven't gone blind!

                            Look, at the risk of bringing doom upon myself, my instincts of this statement was that of a rant of a delusional man. There I've said it. If I'm wrong...........so be it. I have nothing whatsoever against Baclofen or Baclofen takers and have a "so open" mind about alcoholism treatments.........but just calling it as I saw it.
