    Cindi's Baclofen Progress

    Well,

    I have finally decided to post a "Cindi" thread. It is not in my nature to do this kind of thing. I am basically a stay out of any limelight kind of person. However, I believe posting this and sticking with it will help me stay the course I am determined to be on.

    I have gone back down to 80 mg/day in the last few days because I have had to do some weird schedules with work. To my horror, the other night I fell asleep at 10:30 pm while helping the client during a 6-midnight shift. I was at home and working on the computer and woke up about 1:30 a.m. :wow:

    I haven't been able to take my Seroquel at night either for the same reason.

    Hopefully things will settle down again soon.

    I have a new phone with a Pill Reminder alarm and I have set it for 8-12-5 and I am taking 20 mgs at a time. In two days (8/17 - Tuesday) I will increase the noon dosage by 10 mgs. I read someone's thread (Wort's) and they discussed a long, slow titration. So that is what I am going to do.

    I am AF atm but know any day I might pick up a drink. I am no longer going to play that game. I want to hit that switch. If it takes a year, I want to hit that switch.

    I am thinking soon I will be unemployed (I keep thinking that but now it is becoming a reality.) I am looking forward to it so I can spend more time getting well and less time stressing about it.

    I'll keep you posted as best I can, post my reactions, SEs, etc.

    Thanks for being here, my friends.

    Love,
    Cindi

    Thanks, Cindi and good for you.
    I'm really looking forward to alleviating the distraction of work (?!) at the end of the month, when I go part time.
    But nervous about all the free time, too.
    I hope it works out and I'm rooting for you!

      I have heard the saying that its "all in good time".

      Dear beloved, take your time so that your all can be good.

      Rest, Cinders.
      Be blessed, Cinders,

      Let what is perfect is good and it will inch up on your soul like a tickle and a prayer .

      Sprinkle your own intellegence on what ails you.
      The answer is in the blanket and umbrella you offer.

      A flower is gentle and composed for you need the same time as you give.

      With you in my thoughts and more so

        It will be nice for you to have time to focus and just breathe. I know you've been fighting this with a lot going on in your life. It's time....for you to "Be still"!
        My thoughts and prayers are with you.
        Love,

          Cindi,

          I know we have posted numerous times on each others posts. I am trying Bac AGAIN!! I have the help of my dr so I thought I really should work on it.

          I really want to kick this. It's really getting old.

            When I first started bac I had to take just 10 mg every 3 hours as the 20 mg dose just knocked me out!. It did work tho. I have been AF for over 7 months. I too used my phone as an alarm clock to remind me to take my meds. It really helped. I only needed about 80 mg. This is the low end of the dose ratio but seemed to be enough. I don't know what the switch is. I just know I don't have to drink. Hope you get there. Consider taking the lower dose, at least while at work, spread out through the 24 hours while you are getting used to it.
