I took topa for several months this past spring/summer and managed AF for several weeks on 75mg. I took it each night at 7:30pm as it makes me feel tired and a little fuzzy headed. I stupidly went off of it thinking I would be okay, and I was for a little while, but then I slipped up once and got back up for a week or so, slipped up again and have been going on since. I just started the topa again last night at 75mg. I took it at bedtime and awoke this morning without the normal strong craving for a beer. My head a little fuzzy and I was a little shaky but I also drank a lot yesterday. Can the topa work that quick? When I initially went on it, I was taking 25 mg twice a day for one week, then 1 25mg in morning and two 25mg at bedtime for one week, then finally take two 25mg in morning and two 25mg at night. This is all under an addiction doctor's supervision, she is amazing. The problem was, I could not function on this schedule because of the fuzziness in my head and I need to focus to drive and work so she said i could take them all at once, but around 7pm so that I would sleep through most of that fuzziness and it worked and I only ever needed the 75mg. So last night, i took the 75mg, went to bed, thought I would wake with a strong craving for the beer and didn't have it. I made breakfast for the kids and myself and I just opened a beer...it tastes like crap and i remember the topa doing that for a while with carbonated drinks. I am realizing that it's habit that I opened that beer because I really didin't want it, but I dumped half and drank half. I know this will be a battle again, but can topa work that fast? I am drinking and eating and have gained 15lbs since Thanksgiving because of this and I am hiding it and it's driving me crazy. I was hoping to not have to stay on the topa forever, but maybe I will ;( Any of your thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated. I fell hard this time and although I get a day or two, I go right back at it. I can't moderate, I have to totally stop and that's what topa did for me.
Next question, I am out of the supplements and am thinking of ordering from here, but as a single mom, my income is limited. Is the quality worth the price, because if so, I will spend the money to get healthy. Right now, the only thing I have left is milk thistle and I haven't been taking that and i need to, I have psorasis terrible all over my body and I know it's from drinking.
I hate green tea, so that's a no go. I can do the lemon water and I already drink a lot of water, of course it's during the night because I'm so dehydrated from drinking all day. Any help on the topa, please?

. I take 5000 mg in the morning with water and though I still have occasional cravings and I have slipped from time to time, my drinking is simply nothing like it was before...
My kids are gone for a week and this usually leaves me to drink and drink and drink since I dont have to be back to work until the second of jan. I am still sticking close to the eight, but the ninth is looming. I just made myself a chicken sandwich and keep reading on here. I need the support. I will again take the topa tonight and hope each day comes along. Sad, how my life has come to this. ;(
