I stuggled with alcohol for many many years, went the route of AA,antibuse and rehab centers these never lasted more then 3 months, my craving was so strong. I read about topamax in my local newspaper, about a study in Europe about 16 months ago I asked my doctor his opinion we decided it could\'nt hurt to try. 16 months later I still have not had a drink. The craving is just not there anymore. I took 2tablets twice a day of 25mg for approx. 6 months.
