G'day JC
I could not have done without the TOPA. I'm trying 225 mgs a day now. Just for the sake of it. Sheer willpower does NOT do the trick if you want to stop drinking.
When i first got Topa, I was so scared that I flushed it all down the loo!!! That was in November. I finally started Topa in February. Got a number of side effects, but most of them settled and went away. Only the tingling in the feet stayed.
As NL recommends, it's best to do Topa under the supervision of a doctor. I did this, too. He prescribed me Topa. I told him openly why I wanted to take it, and I briefed him on MWO. As a liver specialist, he is very interested in the approach and he respects me, as I am of an academic background myself.
When you are looking for a doctor, you might want to shop around a bit. Don't be put off if the first doctor you talk to is not cooperative. Go to the next one. From my experience you may try non-anglo doctors as they are more humble and take you more serious. They've been through crap themselves and know what it means to be treated in a condescending way ...
Anyway, just my 2 cents.
