For those who don?t know what to do about getting the Topa, here?s what happened to me. I was too embarrassed to ask my dr. and and didn?t think he would prescribe something off label anyway, so ordered from an overseas pharmacy (Australia) ? VERY expensive. A few weeks later I got an official envelope from US customs saying they had seized an illegal substance addressed to me and reprimanding me. I was scared and disappointed. Finally went to the Dr., armed with the Lancet article and pages from the book. And said ?I?d like to try to cut down on drinking, have you ever heard of Topamax for that?? and handed him the article. He said ?of course, we use if for that a lot, it?s also good for migraines and losing weight but watch out for the cognitive effects? and immediately wrote me a prescription. I should have done that in the first place.
Now I?m on day 3 of 25 mg and have felt no effect yet, bad or good. Also have most of the supps and the CDs. I?m almost hoping to feel tingling in my fingers and loss of short-term memory so I?ll know the topa is working! Of course since I?m in my 60s I already have the ?where did I leave my keys?? kind of memory loss!
Still drinking about 3 glasses of wine a night but at least not more than that, which I have often done.
How long did it take others to feel the effects of Topa?
