Hi Julie
I've been on Topa for almost a year. For the first three or four months I bought it online and never told my doctor. I finally changed doctors and now have a prescription.
You were on a VERY low dose and only for eight days. If you have any abnormalities in thyroid or wbc counts, I would look for other reasons, not the topa, since there are so many common causes of abnormalities in those numbers. I wouldn't overlook the other possibilities. I seriously doubt the topa would be the cause, but you might want to be honest with your doctor if you have to. I find that most doctors are used to dealing with alcoholism. We think it's a big deal, but they deal with it all the time and are generally very non-judgemental and try to be helpful. If your doctor freaks out, then find a new doctor.
Hope that helps. Good luck with the topa. I think it is great. It has helped me tremendously.
