    Baclofen generics comparison about me

    Hi ya'll again -

    I have combed the posts but can't find a clear comparison of the different generic versions of Baclofen. Any suggestions on the best generic?

    I saw a post a long time ago of different prices from different pharmacies. But are there different effects?

    Just wondering because I have to order more since I am finally getting serious and taking the Baclofen as suggested by Dr A., which means I'll run out in a month. I thought I would try a different company.

    Currently I take vioridon from Goldpharma. I have succesfully ordered from United Pharmacies for a few years some different cholesterol lowering prescriptions for my husband. They sell lioresal and pacifen for baclofen. Our medical insurance sucks in terms of prescriptions.

    My story is 1 -2 bottles of wine 5-6 nights a week. Would like to moderate and not drink more than 2-3 units per night, like my husband does. Would really like to leave a bottle in the fridge for the next night...

    I have been taking the baclofen periodically for two months - but, hmmm, I keep forgetting to take it... I wonder why.

    I tried topamax, too weird. I tried Naltrexone, and I can drink right past it out of rebellion. Also, I have taken the Allone vitamins for two years, (which I love) glutamine when I know I CANNOT drink (I think it is placebo effect), kudzu doesn't do a thing, the hypno cd's don't work --- I can't sit still long enough to listen, duh, that's why I drink - to STOP STOP STOP!!!! Should I mention I exercise, and have a rich spiritual life? This addiction is more than all those things. I really like to drink, and think I am on the cusp of shutting down into a sedentary I-don't-care-just-give-me-my-glass-of-wine life, or solving this addiction.

    Willpower won't cut it, after 25 years of ups and down, I know I can't do this alone.


    Baclofen seems to actually work a bit - at least I fall asleep the nights I don't drink, and I think in the past couple months, even with the holidays, I've had less nights where I just pass out from drinking 2 bottles of wine.

    I've seen people post that they wish they drank as little as I do. But, I'm 51, and I don't want to drink this much the rest of my life. Besides the calories...

    Well, thanks for listening - you all are an inspiration to me - along with the MWO book.

    Sincerely, me

    Good luck for your journey, muchthought.

    See, its nice to participate

    As far as different brands of baclofen are concerned, have a look at Zenstyle's thread: Dr. Ameisen's baclofen cure - relevant information.

    I have made use of two online pharmacies: 4RX & Inhousepharmacy.

    From 4RX, I got Bacmax 10mg & Liofen 25mg. From Inhouse, Pacifen 10mg.

    My experience was that the Bacmax seemed to have a slightly more potent effect, but it may well be because it is a crumblier tablet compared to Liofen & Pacifen, hence absorbed quicker.

    When I switched over to Pacifen, I had to up my dose immediately to get the same effect.

    All in all, most products seem to be OK. I am only aware of one member here who seemed to have had a completely dud batch (Cowgal).
    I'll do whatever it takes

      Baclofen generics comparison about me

      Hi I have read this thread with interest as I have been taking liofen from 4RX and them my next order from them was Bacmax which made me feel a little off my head. But your comment has cleared that up tip must bit a bit sronger ! I contatced 4RX and they said that they get the bac from various suppliers and just send out whatever they have in stock at the time . So for me the bacmax makes financial sense as I can just have one 25mg tablet a day as a maintentance dose which works a treat ! Again I can oly speak from my own experience but I find 4RX to be a good supplier my only complaint is the packaging would prefer it to be a bit more discreet but hay thats a small price to pay for getting my life back . Good luck to you much though hope you find what you are looking for, my only advice would be if you are going to take the bac take it seriously I did it like boot camp took the dose reguarly tirated up listened to my body but stuck with it even on a few days when it made me feel awful and 6 months later and at 47 I can honestly say I have entered this new decade with more hope and happiness then any other and I personally attribute that to baclofen and all the great support I get from the wonderful people on this amazing site !! good luck .

        HI - that's so cool, brave, that you can take one pill a day and have kicked it. Sounds too good to be true! But I believe you, yes I do!

        I will look for the bacmax at 4rx since you both have good experience with it. Thanks for responding.

        So, I must think boot camp... even today I forgot to take the first pill until 1pm. But I can still get in 3 doses in that time, I'm still on .5 3x daily, but tomorrow will take 10 in the early evening. My job, kids, activities don't allow me to be groggy so I must be careful - too much driving and too many responsibilities until about 6pm every day. Witching hour.

        Thanks for the encouragement, tip, I will try to write more.

            How are you doing, muchthought?

            Re: online pharmacies-- I have also used 4rx, and although the delivery times can be erratic (sometimes 10 days, sometimes 4 weeks), they have excellent customer service 24/7. They even called me directly when my credit card was overdrawn, and then held my order until the next day, when I had replenished my account.

            Every time I have had a question, I just call them, and somebody always gives me the information I need. I've only ever gotten Bacmax from 4rx, so I don't know about the other brands. Also, I've only ever ordered from 4rx, so I don't know how the others compare in terms of service.

            I can't recall that the 4rx packaging was indiscreet, though. Maybe it says "Bacmax" on the customs form... can't recall. I don't think it was indiscreet, though-- Who knows what Bacmax (or baclofen) is, and even if they did, it has many applications, alcoholism being the least known, I believe.

              Hi beatle - thanks for asking. I figured out how to subscribe to a thread.... just a little slow...

              I'm still taking the bac, my drinking goes up and down, which is pretty normal for me. I really enjoy that it helps me sleep. I am only at 25, today I go up to 30. I just have to go slow, I can now take a 10 mg tablet and not have my head hit my computer screen from falling asleep mid afternoon! In fact the somnolence seems to be gone.

              So you use the bacmax. I think I am getting lioresal. I ordered from 4rx a week ago and even if it takes 3 weeks, I have enough. I'm going to press on with this and just keep taking it.

              I remember reading that you were quite erratic when you started taking it too, but you seem to be doing fine. Are you? I appreciate all the info I have gleaned from your posts.

              much

                I have taken Pacifen from In House (consistently delivers in 9-10 days) and Liorisol from All Day Chemist (delivery takes 2 weeks). I'd estimate the Liorisol to be about 20% stronger than the Pacifen.
