Let's have a bit of a roll call, folks!

Even if you don't post regularly, but have had success with bac, let's hear it!

We've finally come full circle with bac on this site: from the 1st tentative steps and sparse mentions of it, to people who have been through the entire process and are now in minimal maintenance mode or entirely off it and remaining AF.

I've been mostly AF since the end of July thanks to Bac. I hit my switch at 245mg and i am now at 175 and still have minor cravings, but they are manageable.

Hello Everyone

I just hit the switch on Aug 21 or 22 or so !

AF since then ,My baclofen journey was real jerky ,had to switch many brands. since Iam from India there were many baclofen choices . Finally I got my switch with a brand called ?BACLODOL ?as I had problems with local shipment with BacMax and other brands.

I extend my sincere gratitude to ?tiptronic_ct? & ?corkit ? who personally helped and guided me through various phases of my jerky baclofen journey .Also thanking all members of this blog especially the consolidated ?baclofen success thread ? members and moderator/creator.

While I was on 280 mg of baclofen (BacMax) I start to have trouble with the shipment as the agent refused to deliver the package due to some legal issues ,so I had to switch to ?baclodol? rather less spoken or unknown brand of baclofen , I was a bit skeptical about this brand at 1st . I was drinking too.

I donno what happened to me one day ,I happened to jump off from the 1st floor of my building and got bed ridden for 2 months (very lucky that I had no fracture anywhere in my body).so I suggest other lurkers not to switch brands of baclofen at very high doses if you are still drinking ,my experience says that its very dangerous.(switching certain brands can bring withdrawal , and if you are still drinking things are lethal )

So since I got bedridden I had to stop drinking and also my family confined me strictly at home , I continued my baclofen journey slowly up to 300 mg and then 400 mg all these because I was skeptical about the brand and I wasn?t drinking and I donno if I had switched or not .I was on 400 mg for a week and then titrated down slowly ,meanwhile I had to be in Bombay for a new job and I started to drink again but this time only 3 beer?s a day and that only in the nights (in india some beer have nearly 40% alcohol v/v ) , now I started to get confident so I titrated up to 280 within 3 days and see ????I just got switched ! I never drank since 22 aug 2010 .

Its rainy in Bombay so each time I come to my hotel after work my taxi halts in front of a bar(next to my hotel),so I have to go into the bar until the rain subsides .I couldn?t believe what was happening ??..i was the only guy in the bar eating food without ordering a single drink.

Thoughts to the Lurkers:

So my sincere advise for Lurkers is that try to avoid alcohol while you are in high doses of baclofen if you can?t at least reduce the units . don?t wait for the switch to happen if you are drinking ,just induce baclofen blindly to the maximum dose as possible (for me I just blindly went up to 400mg).baclofen works well when you don?t drink or drink less units(maintain a drinking unit diary).

Please notice that I never got switched at 280 while I was titrating UP but other way around !

Baclofen is absolutely safe if your work Dont involves driving or any other dangerous activities like working in a complex and dangerous factory environment .otherwise its pretty cool.please don?t mind other problems like lack of sexual appetite and things like that ??..all the side effects are just temporary and things will be normal when you titrate down eventually .

so I suggest other lurkers not to switch brands of baclofen at very high doses if you are still drinking ,my experience says that its very dangerous.(switching certain brands could bring withdrawal , and if you are still drinking things are lethal )

Please keep a check on mood disorder issues ,understand that its because of baclofen and its only temporary ,don?t jump off from building like what I did ,let some one dear and near know what you are doing and keep close contact to MWO forum members ,all of them are helpful and all the threads are useful .

I extend all possible help to lurkers ,you can also mail on my personal ID (manlooking4nothing@yahoo.com)

Best & Good luck

I remember you Zman!

Also, many people find it much easier the second time around, though it has been a couple of years.
