    Christyacc's Bac diary

    This is basically my 3rd try on Bac. I originally bought online, and it worked AMAZING!!! However, I ran out....I ordered more, but it must have been from a different online pharm, because the effects were different. Since then, I have gone to my family doctor who is very excited about this. I have titrated up rather quickly but the side effects haven't been overwhelming. I know these meds are working as I have heard myself snoring !!!!! I sleep like a baby!!!

    I am up to about almost 100mgs daily. I try to take more in the evening as this is when I drink most--except for weekends.

    I have been drunk a couple times since being on the Bac. It seems to affect me differently. I drank Friday evening, only 4 beers, and I drank last night, 6. Though when I thought about drinking, it didn't matter to me. I think I drank because it was there. This week I am aiming for AF and I will see where the weekend takes me.

    My goal is a total indifference to AL. I will try to keep a goal to post.

    Thank for listening!

    Thanks Christyacc for posting this info... I am thinking of trying to titrate up a little faster than the schedule recommended. I started on 1/23 so this is day 15 and I am at 50 mg total/day... no real side effects, tho' serious insomnia the last 2 nights (but that is a lifelong issue) How fast did you go up to 100 mg??
    My goal too is simply to be indifferent, so I can have a glass of wine when out with friends, not an entire bottle! Time will tell...
    Be Well,

      Hi Jenn!

      I am the same, I would like to be able to have a couple drinks and be able to stop! If I have to not drink at all then so be it.

      Honestly, I have titrated VERY quickly. I was taking relative uneffective Bac that I ordered online. However, my dr gave me a script Jan 26th and I think I started Feb 1st. So pretty much in a week, I have jumped up to almost 100mgs.

      20mgs in the AM (approx 8am)
      20mgs approx 2pm
      30mgs approx 6pm
      30mgs at bedtime

      I am a big girl though...I expect to have to go higher.

        A lot of other people have mentioned in other threads here that taking bac at bedtime increases anxiety/insomnia at night. For me, it had done the opposite (nice sleeping!) until I got up to 80mg/day (I am a little girl, so this is a fairly high dose for me). Then my life-long insomnia reappeared. When I heeded the advice to not take baclofen for at least a couple of hours before bedtime, the insomnia faded, and I am sleeping well again.
        Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

          I wonder if it is totally necessary to take a bedtime dose......I mean if you are sleeping, you aren't drinking. Thus we can use more in the times of need, like for me, dinner to bedtime, and pretty much all damn weekend!

            I think this is the conclusion most of us have come to. I used to take it whenever I woke up at night. But in retrospect, that seems unnecessary.

                Well love....I think you normally order from River and it wasn't there. I honestly can't remember which place because I ordered originally from one place and they worked awesome, but then I ordered from another place after I stupidly ran out, and it wasn't as effective.

                I can send you all I have since I now have a script, if you want. My tolerance seems to be higher.

                Have you started?

                  Hey christy, I think I may recognise your name from another forum?

                  Anyway, sorry I haven't yet chimed in here, I am so looking forward to reading your progress

                  I'm a fellow-traveller (sorry American English spellchecker, we use doubled-up consonants in the UK for words like that!) and am only up to 65mg~ per day (along with Nal) so can't wait to hear how you're doing. Please do keep us all posted

                      Thanks for the response (2/7) Christyacc. I know bac has been stated to be effective at certain mg/kg dosages.
                      Rough last couple of days here. Anniversary of my Daddy's dying. I didn't get drunk, tho' I did drink some wine. Upped my bac dosage to 30mg at 730p.m. (60mg total) and it really knocked me for a loop. Guess I'll spead the dose out differently today, see how that works. Probably help if I can find a scale to weigh myself on .... I know my clothes have gotten tight this winter!
                      So, when you say this is day 4, is that AF? or dosage of new script bac?

                        Good job on keeping your head during such a difficult time. As long as we can do that it will make our lives easier.

                        I totally hear you about clothes getting too tight! I have gained so much weight from drinking, it's insane!

                        What are your doses again? I am 20 in the am, 30 about 1 or2 then another 30 about 7. Today I may try 40 at the later times.

                        Where in Michigan are you? We got some snow as well! When is spring? Lol

                          Christy,
                          I am taking 10mg in the morning, 10 mg around 7:00 in the evening and 10mg agin around 9:00 at night. I find it makes me very sleepy which is good, I sleep instead of drink but don't know if I could handle the doses you are taking! how are you feeling at those doses? I slept like a baby last night and woke up very tired this am - thank goodness for coffee!

                            I wish I could sleep better but I am better than when drinking. The dosage doesn't bother me too much-a little tired. I don't take it right before bed since I won't be drinking when I am sleeping lol. I too am tired when I wake up.

                            Seems to be working though-day 4

                              Day 4 - do you think it's the bac or your need to stop? I feel like right now I am quitting by will power and the bac is only there to make me just sleepy, but maybe that is how it is supposed to be, for now...
                              Glad you are on day 4
