> Thanks for the information on trying other AD's for alcoholism. I was on 300 mg of topomax for the person who was asking about the mg. of what I was on. That was way too much but it sure kept my alcohol cravings in check. For me, to drink is to die, so I'm really wanting to find a medication that works like topomax, without the side effects. I took prozac for awhile but it stopped working for me. I guess it takes motivation and the desire to go to AA and once and for all quit drinking. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
> It seemed like topomax was the wonder drug for me but I found I didn't have a brain when I took it.
> LBFWIW. I believe that the first month or so being on Wellbutrin helps with any sort of addiction: smoking, food, drinking. After the "side effect" peiod goes away, that benefit lessens.
