Thanks Treeman --- I have both the powder to mix with water, and the capsules that I plan on using when away from the house. Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi guys, I'm a new one and think that your moderation approach may suit me too. Are you all taking Topa? I've tried to take vitamins, hypnotherapy, counselling etc but did not seem to be right for me. I'm hoping that this medication may be the missing link/. BOK

Hello all
I'm not new to the site, joined in March. I've been trying to do the recommended 30 days but it hasn't worked the most I did was 21 days. I would like to join the threads as I'm planning to mod. I don't take Topa, I'm taking the supplements, doing acupuncture and yoga. I just need to stay strong.

I'm a new modder (4 weeks) and I couldn't have done it without topamax. The cravings went down the second week at 50 mg and now at 75 mg I'm down to 1 or 2 glasses of wine a night and can even consider 0 glasses which would have been out of the question before.
I am very lucky to have had no bad side effects and I hope that happens with you too.

Thanks Betts, I've been away on holiday and just seen your reply. I am still waiting for the topomax! I was hoping it would be here by the time I got back. I have been struggling to moderate, have cut down a lot, but not as much as I want to. I have the supplements, hypnosis CD, etc.

Hi 3bottles,
I've been on Topa for over 2 years now (low dose 100 mg a day)
But yes, I do take L-glutamine. I really think it helps a lot.

I take 500mg in the AM. I also take another 5oomg if I'm going out for a special occasion. You can also buy it in the capsule form & pour it under your tongue (if you want), if you have a super stronge craving & are abstaining.

I've taken 1000mg caps as well with no problems.(L-glut)

Hope that helps.

Hi Keke: I am new to the program. Have started supplements, but have not received the book or CD's. I have done well so far. Saturday night, I had 3/4 of a beer, AF on Sunday, two glasses of red wine last night. Did not even get a buzz. My husband is amazed. I really have not had a craving. Just enjoyed relaxing last night. If I can conquer my insomnia, I will be a happy person. Nice to meet you. Kay

Hi all -

I'm about to start modding after completing my 30 days AF Friday. Thanks for posting your dosages of the Topamax etc. I am considering starting on that as well. Big weekend planned but SO is very supportive so think I'll be fine.

Nice to see this thread though...very helpful!
