Bill,
Thanks for your informative posts.

Were you taking baclofen at the time you had your seizure, or did you just go without alcohol for sufficient enough time for it to happen?

At what point did you start baclofen and what made you decide that this was the med for you?

Yes, Bill.P. you are quite right - sorry if it came off like I was criticizing your numbers. You certainly provided all the caveats, and your rough estimate sounds about right to me (I was a bit higher - 180 lbs and 150 mg, but, as you said, everyone's different). It was more that I was worried when I saw another poster give out your numbers. I'd hate for someone to just jump in at the wrong dose. That's also the reason I emphasized the side-effects of abrupt discontinuation.

I am in total agreement that a physician is necessary to keep watch over dosage for these reasons and others. unfortunately, however, the out-of-patent status of baclofen makes it unlikely that clinical trials will be done anytime soon, so physicians are understandably reluctant to prescribe such a high dose. I heard rumors that trials are underway in France, and that there are some cocaine-related trials at UPenn that Dr. Ameisen is involved with, but I haven't heard anything definitive about those. It may be a while before it becomes an accepted treatment. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind, however, that it will become THE treatment for alcoholism within a few years.

My mind boggles at the social consequences of a cure for alcoholism, as I fully believe this is.

I am really glad that this thread has taken off! I do a google search every few weeks or so to see if anyone's talking about this, and although I've posted a few times elsewhere in other forums and blogs, this thread seems to be the biggest discussion about it in English (for a massive thread in French, check this one out: BACLOFENE - Alcool - e-sant? : forums forme et sant? - over 400 pages of posts!).

biilyb, after reading your post I immediately reviewed my post, edited it to reflect your observations, as I was just sharing the formula that Biil.P wrote. Anyone could have read or reviewed it themselves.

This site is for sharing and learning and studying.

There was no mention of withdrawal, (although we have discussed it in many other threads), so thank you for bringing that up for people who are new to the use of baclofen.

I for one, was appreciative of a formula, as Ameisen's book, at least in my reading, did not give me an understandable dosage, at least one that I, as a layperson grasped.

We are all of different minds and different abilities, we need to be careful in our shares.

I felt "put down" by your post. Perhaps it was entirely unintentional, but I did wish to express that. Of course I am not trying to start a forum war, just stating my feelings.:lilheart:

Friends,

Your posts give me so much hope.

I have been to rehab twice, my marriage of almost 34 years is at stake AND I have two alcoholic grown children.

If Baclofen works for me, you can bet I will be sharing with them.

This is such a debilitating disease that wreaks havoc on all around us.

Thank you all for sharing and please keep sharing.

Ocean - Sorry you got your feelings hurt, but your posts are important. You have been having your success with Nal and Bac and it is because of your posts, Evie Lou's and now the "Bills" that I have such hope.

Marbella, I love your new thread. As soon as I get my Baclofen, I will start one of my own.

Thanks to all of you. Today seems a bit brighter.

Love,
Cindi

ps Yet another advantage of Baclofen, from what I have read, is that it is not hard on the liver. This is really good news for us serious alcoholics.

:sorry:

I certainly didn't mean that, and I'm very sorry for how I put that - I feel bad for coming into this forum and immediately alienating a long-time poster and a constructive contributor to this thread. I should have been more diplomatic. I think that I am probably a bit too over-enthusiastic about this subject, so I might have been careless about the effect of my words.

I have read your other thread, and your success so far with Naltrexone and Baclofen is very inspiring! :happy:

I know that you promptly changed your post to clarify, and that you fully understand how the Baclofen treatment regimen works. My post was not intended as a rebuke to you; rather, I was concerned that a less-informed reader might get confused and take away the wrong message.

Because of the possible difficulty of getting a physician on board with this treatment, I felt it was important to clarify any slight possibility of misunderstanding.

For online pharmacies, goldpharma had a really fantastic deal for a while on 25mg pills. It is no longer such a steal, but they still have very good prices, compared to other sources. They are quite reliable - I've never had a problem.

Also, alldaychemist has excellent prices. I haven't yet ordered from them, but I plan to do so next time. They have good reviews on drugbuyers.com, which seems to be a fairly well-populated forum with many real users' experiences with online pharmacies.

Alright I am giving it a go. I have ordered my first round and it should be here in 2-3 weeks. I trust the people who have been using it and feel very educated by the new people who have come here to share their stories. I am always thankful for new alternatives when the old one's don't seem to work anymore.

I am excited for us. Truly.
