Still not moderating

[February72]

Hey everyone. I decided to come on down to this board because I'm pretty sure my goal is moderation. It also felt awkward posting around the abstainers.
I'm going to the Doctor today and plan on asking for some medication.
Can anyone recommend what has worked for someone moderating?
I'm still unsure if Camprel is safe if you still drink and Topa sounds like it has some bizarre side effects.

Hi

For all it is worth, I started Campral a month ago, have occaisionally drank on it (but less than I drank without it!).....without ANY side effects at all............

Took topa about a year ago w/ major side effects (at least the only thing I could point to) of dyslexia and having a hard time thinking of correct things (words) to say when talking to people, got pretty aggravating, so stopped.............

Hope this may help, don't know what others have found, this isjust for me.............

I had no side-effects w/Campral. I take it during the week and not when I drink.

:welcome: Robenz,
I posted earlier..but it disappeared!
I've been on topa for about 2 yrs now.
I take a pretty low dose. 100 mg (50mg in the AM & 50 mg in PM)
It does help A LOT. I still need to be very vigilant though...
Which lately, I must admit I've been a bit slack... nothing like the old daze... but I really need to get more serious with myself here...
It's easy to let things slide back into old patterns, if I'm not ultra careful.
Lots of exercise seems to help too.

I also take L-glut (100 mg every AM)
and Kudzu, as well as milk thistle.
Hope this helps.
