5mg 9am felt wired but that's usual due to the buspirone
5mg noon ... started getting a headache
5mg 4:00 headache still around.. slightly lethargic

anxiety slightly lower than usual. not huge but enough for me to notice.

cravings slightly dulled... though at this point i'd more attribute that to placebo than anything else. so far so good.

I'm going to stay @ 15mg a day for 2 more days .. then increase.

thanks again!

downed my usual 4 16oz 5.9 alc/vol tallboys... usually go out to get at least one more.

feel absolutely no desire to do so. still think it's some sort of placebo effect but facts are facts i suppose.

took 5mg more at around 7:30

[panda farts]

hello.... new

5mg 9am
5mg 12pm
5mg 3pm
10mg 6pm

no noticeable side effects. slightly calmer than usual.

didn't feel any craving at all till around 8:30pm and even then it was muted.

still think it's a bit of a placebo effect since i refuse to think anything works this easily.

the big thing i noticed is i'm usually antsy for that first drink right after work and that usually leads me to come straight home. i ran errands.. came home and talked to a friend on the phone till around 8:30pm with very little subtext in my mind as to.. "gotta go to the store soon" that's usually there.

I did go at 8:45pm... but that's the latest i've made my first trip in as long as i can remember.

so far so good.. yet again.

oh .. and a few crazy dreams last night but i find those entertaining so not a problem as yet

10mg 9am
10mg 12:30pm
10mg 5pm
10mg 8:30pm

same headache as the first day
very sleepy around 3ish
like yesterday, craving was noticeably diminished for way longer than usual.

PF,

Sorry about the headache. Hopefully that side effect will go away as your body gets used to the Baclofen.

Stay the course. You will be amazed when you hit your first AF day and realize how easy it is.

Glad you are here and posting!!

thanks! without reading your experiences and others here I doubt I would have even tried this. That's why I'm trying to chronicle my journey so it may help someone else.

upped it to:

10mg 9am
10mg noon
20mg 5:30pm
10mg 7:30

no headache like before. anxiety levels way way lower than usual.
craving slightly lower than usual but a tad more than the last 2 days.

and this is probably psychosomatic but beer tastes unpleasant. I noticed that yesterday too but figured it was something else.

i can definitely feel something.. not sure what it is quite yet... but it's there
