I started out using topamax but found that I was getting headaches and stopped. I might try it again, but only as you said, as a last resort. So far, I don't feel a need for it. Glutamine, kudzu, and evening primrose all curb a desire for alcohol. The amino acids that you'll be taking will boost your brain's neurotransmitters so that they'll soon function like that of a non-drinker's. Joan Larson's Seven Weeks to Sobriety has lots of solid information on nutrition.

The hypnotherapy CD's are very powerful. I'm something of a skeptic, but was amazed by the inner changes that took place after only a couple of weeks.

Glad to have you with us.
