Topamax (Topiramate)

I was wondering if anyone has used Topamax to aide in their recovery?

I kind of stumbled on the alcoholism benefits inadvertently. My Doctor switched me to it as a new anti-seizure medication and one day last week I looked over at my husband and said I have not even thought about alcohol in about 4 days...not even a passing fleeting thought. Interesting.


Here is an article about it if anyone is interested:


JAMA -- Topiramate for Treating Alcohol Dependence: A Randomized Controlled Trial, October 10, 2007, Johnson et al. 298 (14): 1641
