      Have you tried baclofen and did it work for you?

      I started Bac on Feb 04/10, starting with the usual 5-5-5, titerated up to 20-20-20. Became AF after 10-10-10. I cant tell you if there was a switch or if it was just sheer determination to give up AL but at this dose, I never think about AL anymore, do not crave it, do not wish I could drink in social settings. I am happy with a bottle of water. As far as drinking history; I started when I was probably 18 (39 now) as a social drinker, tapered off at around 25 when I got married and started raising a family. Then I moved to a new city and started hanging out with a coworker who drank everynight after work (early 30s) and I started having a few afterwork, and gradually a 12 pack of beer a week became about 1.5 years ago, drinking everynight; drinking whiskey straight for nothing other than getting drunk fast. I have never been able to handle my liquor; and doesnt take a lot to get me drunk. I weighed about 155lbs at the end. I cant begin to express my gratitude to baclofen.
      Hope I have included all info you want and not too much fluff!

            Hi Folks,

            If we are to get an idea of baclofen's success rate, a few more replies would be greatly appreciated.

              I started bac mid-June 2009. Became AF on 21 August @ 240mg, hit the switch about 4 days later @ 270mg. Smiling ever since.

              Has it worked for me? Hell yeah!!!

                Have you tried baclofen and did it work for you?

                I am 53, female, 149lbs been drinking since 18. I typically have a bottle of wine a night, sometimes a little more. I basically drink till I pass out or fall asleep.

                I am up to 130mg of Bac and this week have had 2 bottles of wine (8 units of AL) Its been 4 years since I have had such a low unit count. I am going to TRY to make it through the weekend without AL. I have not yet hit my switch (perhaps I would have by now if I could abstain, but then why would I need the Bac if I could abstain?? ) but I feel I am getting nearer. The cravings are nowhere near as intense. Sometimes I drink just because I am used to it.

                My side effects are sleepiness, which didn't come about till 130mg, and calf cramps/restless legs at night. I am wondering if the latter is brought about by exercise - it seems worse the nights after my cycling class (very intense cardio) could it be lactic acid? Anyone else experience this?

                At any rate, I am hopeful to say the least. Tonight will be a challenge as hubby will be gone - huge trigger for me (he doesn't drink and doesn't like it when I do. I have such a high tolerance he usually can't tell, and he's a cop!!) But, I am so psyched at the thought of only having a drink count of 8 for the week I am going to try my hardest.

                    Baclofen

                    Interesting forum. I was on Baclofen around 2 years a go, my drinking had got pretty heavy & couldnt stand the anxiety & panic attacks. My doctor gave it to me & I beleieve I got up to 180 before I hit the switch. Sadly my Doctor refuse to prescribe it again when he saw what dose I was on.. I did explain to him that I will be taking a high dose.. I'm now off the wagon & getting through a bottle of vodka a day. Does anybody know of a reliable online pharmacy where I can get Baclofen without a prescription. Desperate.

                      Gold Pharma I'm trying 4RX too to compare the two, so far 4RX predict almost double the delivery time of Gold. Will be interesting to see which one arrives first!

                        4rx messed me about and my credit card got cancelled as they reckoned there had been scams. Also got loads of spam after I had ordered (like 80 a day.)
                        May all be a coincidence but the Baclofen I got seemed real enough.

                        I will go back to United Pharmacies in future.

                          Hi Jeremy, there's this thread

                          https://www.mywayout.org/community/f2...ine-35483.html

                          that pretty much deals with anything you need to know.

                          Good luck!
