Hope this is it.
After the last 8 years of having this dreadful disease (and being a master at being a functioning alcoholic if there is such a thing anyway)-I am SO done-I just ordered Topomax and Baclofen-I hope this will give me a running start-I am determined and any advice/words of encouragment would be welcome and so appreciated-This is not going to beat me.
Fighting for my life....Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.

Hi, Cindi. You - among others- gave me hope & inspiration and your success on bac encouraged me. I have now been AF for over 75 days due to all of you here and the bac. I KNOW you can beat this dreaded disease and I look forward to reading many more upbeat posts from you! You have so many friends here - lean on them. I can tell that they love you and care for you.Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.

Anyway, welcome to MWO!Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

I think it's very likely that you've found the answer here. We're glad you made it!
I'd try one med at a time, and I'd try the baclofen first. This is just my personal opinion but it is a highly educated one.

I'm using baclofen and The Sinclair Method and they have saved my life.:nutso: I take pride in my humility :nutso:

Welcome Cindi!
Good for you for making such an important decision. It IS about life and death for some of us, me included.
I don't know anything about the meds, but there is a meds section here with lots of info.
Keep us posted on your progress!sigpic

LOL! Oops! I sure did think it was the other cindi. That's what I get for 5 cups of coffee :H. I was wondering about the bac as the other cindi takes it.
Ahem....... :welcome: cindi! I try to greet and encourage newcomers so here it is. (If I could quit laughing) Great job on deciding to change your life and take control of it again. It will be one of the top few best decisions you've ever made. Let us know how we can help!sigpic
