Rapid Titration off Baclofen

[Spectra]

I screwed up and didn't get my order for Baclofen in to Goldphama, a week ago I was on 180mg and I've managed to get down to about 120mg. I felt like shit this morning. Ironically I hit the Al-off button just when I had to taper off the Bac, so I'm probably going through detox too. If I can drop 10mg a day I'll run out in 12 days time.

Any thoughts?

Are you drinking too Spectra? I believe that unfortunately, AL would help relieve withdrawl symptoms, so if you are desperate and the side effects are great you might need to resort to that. I would try to take it down by 20 or 30mg a day, but everyone is different...so do what feels best for you.

No I'm not drinking, and haveing been AF for a week that's something I really want to avoid. 20mg it is then and keep my fingers crossed that Goldpharma turn up soon.

Thanks,

I just got my shipment of baclofen, I can send you a bottle or two or three till you get yours, and you can send it back when you get your shipment, does that work? I can send it next day if need be.

I know you are not doing this under a doctor's care, but do you think you could call your GP and fess up -- "I'm taking this baclofen, and I know I shouldn't have without a legit prescription, but I was desperate and it's working great and I've run out and I understand it is dangerous to stop suddenly..." --phrase it like it's an emergency. I cannot understand how a physician could refuse you a prescription when he/she knows you are already taking something that if you stop it suddenly it would harm you, in fact could be very dangerous. Just an idea.

The thing is, Spectra is in England. I tried to send some bac to England (from Skandinavia) and it didn't make it through customs. Otherwise I would happily send some, too. Also, it will probably take a few days from the U.S. (I guess?).

Ahhh I didn't even pay attention to the location. In that case I'm thinking your idea is the best.

Thank you all for your very kind offers, yes I'm in the UK, tt99, I may take you up if it doesn't come through.

Beatle, I did go to my GP, to say he panicked would be an understatement, he gave me five days worth at 160mg and told me not to go back. Bearing in mind the potential side effects of the Bac and the detox, he didn't ask how I felt, he didn't listen, didn't even take my blood pressure or offer a vitamin B shot, we didn't discuss the side effects or how to manage the withdrawal or any alternatives. He couldn't get me out of there quick enough. I tried to explain that I wanted to titrate off in a similar way as I had ramped up, but he actually said that if I made the decision to take drugs off label that was my lookout, his concern was to not get sued.

If anyone in the UK wants to pick a fight with their GP try GMC | Good practice in prescribing medicines - guidance for doctors I'm not going to bother unless something goes wrong.

Thank you all for you support

Panic over, the Baclofen just arrived, thank you all so much for your support,

Would have been an "interesting" experiment though.

Will try to be more diligent though.......... Everyone here is kind and we all mean to try to help eachother out, esp. Beatle!!!!

I accept with information:AL would help relieve withdrawl symptoms, so if you are desperate and the side effects are great you might need to resort to that.
