I tried the Topamax as directed in the book, but it made me crazy, I still drank the same as ever (about 3 bottles wine a day) but started having blackouts. One night I "came to" and was trying to strangle my husband in bed. It scared me into going back to AA.
Well, I've done ok with them so far, now I have 6 1/2 months of sobriety. BUT, the last month the cravings have come back and today I feel like I am going mad, I am so desperate to have a drink. I've tried going to more AA meetings, I have a sponsor and do the steps and all the things they suggest, but I still want a drink so much. I wondered if anyone here could help? Has any had the same thing and what did you do? I wondered whether to try one of the drugs that I have seen posted about like Campral or Baclofen? I'm afraid to try Topamax again, although I know it works great for lots of others. I just feel so desperate, my head keeps saying "well if you're this miserable without the drink, you might as well be miserable with it".
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks.
