Hello! New member to the Managing Drinking group.

Hi everyone.

I am glad I have found this website. So far it has been somewhat helpful in managing my heavy drinking.

My addiction medicine doctor has just recently put me on Topamax (Topiramate) to help with cravings to alcohol. Anyone tried this and had success? I am starting on the lowest dose of 12.5mg at bedtime for 2 weeks then going up to 25mg at bedtime. I am currently experiencing some dizziness with it. I started Monday and it hasn't really helped yet ?

Does anyone have a trick with triggers they can tell me? I am caught in a loop right now with cravings /triggers then giving in. I try to quit and relapse after. Its just been an ongoing frustrating cycle ?

Help is very much appreciated! ? ❤️
