Hi. By way of introductions, I am 42 female, living in the US. Struggled through a lot of this stuff and have really concentrated on researching a cure. I have tried many of the drugs listed on this forum without much effect. I will say that the first time I read MWO and tried Topomax, I noticed a difference but think I eventually drank through it and built up a resistance.
I'm currently jumping into the Baclofen program after an indulging holiday (I was doing pretty good beforehand on Baclofen before quitting abruptly). My Dr. prescribed a boatload of medication including Librium (I know, I know...) I think I presented myself more panicky than necessary when he saw me. In any event, I am currently on 10 mgs of Bac 3x's day. I will only touch the Librium if I have alcohol withdrawal (which I don't think will happen at this point) or I can't sleep. Sleeping is a *huge* issue for me and w/o 2 bottles of wine in me, I simply can't. My husband is downstairs with a drink and I'm not really inclined at all although, I am very hungry all the time. (side effect?)
so, my plan is to stick with 10mgs 3xs a day for the next few days and see what happens... Honeymoon? I don't know. I am more worried about social situations than anything else right now. I can't imagine eating in a restaurant with friends without a glass (or 4) of wine. Then, once that happens... would it stop? would the Baclofen say 'nufs, 'nufs? That would be awesome!
I am experiencing a little somnolence but probably tritated too quickly... it's very tolerable... I'm pretty peaceful. I *was* a little "emotional" this morning with the contractors working in my house but they deserved it anyway...
I just want to add that I really think I believe in this.... It all makes an enormous amount of sense to me knowing what my past symptoms have been and how this medication works. I've also followed this board long enough (yeah, yeah... I'm a stalker!) to recognize the people it's sincerely helping.
I just think something is brewing in the air... call it "sincere hope" -- I feel good and will keep this post going even if I bore you all to death.
