Consolidated Baclofen Progress Thread
I have gotten so much from this forum.
Knowing I had reached the point in my life of dying from drinking, health issues, or finding a way to live without alcohol. My marriage, family relationships, and business were all suffering the effects of my personality changes under the influence of alcohol.
It's very hard for me to post about my life, sober I am a very private person, but feel it's a duty to share our experiences on Bacolfen giving back to this community, possibly our experiences will help.
I am at 10 days on Bacolfen. First week I took 5mg x 4 a day. Felt euphoric first two days and was AF. Second week taking 10mg x 4. Headaches I had the first week seem to be subsiding. I've always had a problem with insomnia and still do.
I have started drinking beer again because it's here (husband drinks). I've avoided drinking to a drunk stage, except for Saturday night. Took much less for me to feel drunk (not black out) and did feel hungover the next day, nauseous, something I normally wouldn't feel hung over. But not so much it frightened me. I've been able to avoid over drinking because I had a heavy workload.
My small business had picked up considerably the last three weeks, starting before baclofen, and I've been going on about 3-4 hours of sleep a day just to keep up.
A wonderful thing has happened taking this drug, at even a small dose, I have freedom from the pain of carpal tunnel. I work with my hands and at the rate and hours I've been working, I would alwaysbe at a point of suffering from extreme pain and seriously considering if I could even continue on with my business. A friend asked yesterday how is the carpal tunnel and the pain. I was amazed to realize, I've been so busy, I wasn't suffering. So, has anyone else had this amazing relief from carpal tunnel pain on baclofen? Even if I find it does not take away my need for alcohol I would continue to take it for this reason. I've suffered for 7 years from carpal tunnel pain!
I had a good night's sleep last night because I reached total exhaustion, no sleep in 36 hours. My 10 mgs this morning did not give me a headache. I'm moving forward and am very hopeful.
