Topa didn't work but Naltrexone does!

[Boozin' Susan]

Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for awhile and finally decided to post a message. I tried taking Topomax a few months ago. It helped curb the craving a little bit but I felt so depressed. I stopped taking it and tried again a few weeks later. I thought maybe I was just experiencing PMS. Well, when I tried it the second time I started feeling really crappy again and I was also still drinking. I finally went to my doctor and asked for Naltrexone. It is helping me a lot!!! I don't feel depressed and I have very few cravings. I have been on the Naltrexone for a month now and have drastically cut back on my drinking. i have been drunk twice in 35 days whereas I would normally have been drunk at least 30 of those days. BTW...I am also on antidepressants (Effexor and Wellbutrin) and have no trouble combining them with the Naltrexone. So...if anyone out there feels like they have tried everything to stop drinking but they haven't tried Naltrexone, I definitely recommend it.

Thank you so for your posts.

TOPA was a huge dissapointment on all levels.
It is encouraging to hear that one such as yourself has recieved some relief.

Take Good Care of yourself~
