Wow, that is excellent news to hear you report! You seem to be a fast responder to it like I was! Isnt it amazing? How about shyness and anxiety, baclofen reduces anxiety dramatically?

That is good that you space it out and that it works for you. The drowsiness is temporary so you will probably find you dont need to space it out. Although I usually am loathe to take pills, with balcofen I was comforted with taking them in multiple doses, it was psychological. But later I switched to 3-4 doses. Usually 4. Just as a sidenote, the drowsiness came back strongly on a no carb diet. For 3 days I have had to take naps after baclofen dosing.


As far as the titiration speed, there is no wrong way to eat a reese's peanut butter cup (except eating a reeses out of a dead guys mouth)

Siwan,

I am amazed like you at my willingness to go against the grain at the moment.

I had a incident with my husband where I would normally concede and just give in, but this time I fixed him a steely eyed gaze and said "Oh Yeah?"
and he conceded.

I think bac is good for me in many ways.

Take Care

Hi Siwan,
Thanks for sharing and starting the thread. Good luck with the titrating and maybe we should start a betting pool on our magic numbers. I look forward to hearing how it goes.

Love your new vacation avatar! Have fun! I have vacation coming up in 3 weeks and I am working on convincing myself before then that wine is not needed for fun, even if everyone else is drinking it. Glad to hear that you were able to keep the alcohol consumption low, but agree it is a habit that I don't want. Interesting that 2 glasses made you so goofy. I read a thread in general about someone on 220mg baclofen and still drinking. Don't want that to be me so must see as an aid, not a magic pill.

Funny to read about becoming more outspoken. Hope this doesn't happen to me as I'm a bit too much this way already! (my husband is kind and when it is not directed at him calls it "not suffering fools gladly"). And yet I'm socially shy in group situations. Maybe I'll be less outspoken and less shy!

I feel the same way, Louise. An aid but I must also put in my effort to redo those years and years of habitual thoughts and actions regarding alcohol.

Hubby wants me to replace those actions with positive ones. I think he is right.

hey siwan, i dont have the answers to the dosage questions but did want to say i know what you mean about the pscyhological cravings. i feel like i will have trouble with them and cant imagine having an indifference to alcohol.. im praying about it and crossing my fingers but it seems unlikely. the problemwith me compared to a few people on here such as zen and evie is that i dont want to stop drinking as much as them. i still want to drink and dont want to give up going out to bars with friends and getting that buzz on. that might be a problem

Oh Siwan, I'm so sorry, port hangover are just the worst! I know Ameison went up to 1.6mg/Kg so I think you can safely go higher. No one else has had any reaction anything like Emily's. I'm really sorry you are feeling depressed as well. That has gotten me off track so many times. Have you considered taking anything for it? Also, I'm wondering if you took it just 4x aday with 20mg before your worst craving time if that would help?
