Hi there,
I've been on the Bac-journey for 4 weeks now. I titrated up within a week to about 100mg. I experienced different SE's. First i slept very well (which I was not used to), nowadays I get 'by' with 3/4 hours a day. I stay awake at night very, very easily and at daytime I also very active, untill a sudden hot of tiredness which I can hardly resist.
I do this with approval of my psychiatrist.
Yesterday, I had a dinner with friends. I let them poor me a glass of wine. During dinner I switched the glass to the left of my plate, then to the right, et vice versa. The conversation was pretty boring and normally I'd drink myself to the level of conversation, just to be more fun and enjoying myself more. Not yesterday! When the dinner was over and I helped cleaning the table, I found myself getting my full glass of wine bringing to the kitchen. This had never ever happened before in my lifetime. I felt kind of proud, but it had really nothing to do with the 'will'. But then, when I came home, I took a really cold beer and kind of enjoyed it. I went to the night-store to get cigarettes and I took with me 3 other beers (half-liters). I drank one half of the half liters. Pretty strange right?
While titrating up, my alcohol-abuse went down enormously, but still drinking.
Now, my theory is that maybe it a gradual proces and I'm not there yet.
My psychiatrist is getting a littlebit concerned because of the SE's I'm experiencing (insomnia, I forget about Everything, I'm not really in contact with my body, I sometimes really get 'hit' after taking a dose). His other clients didn't reach for the mythical switch and felt comfortable enough with about 100-120 mg/d. For him, this is also unknown territory and is allowed to subscribe 80 mg/d. He asked me to stay in close contact when going above 300 mg/d.
So, I would like to hear/read experiences from members who have been at the point where I am now: high doses of Bac and gradually decreased cravings. Do you really KNOW when you reach the switch? My psychiatrist also would like to know that
He knows I'm very determined, even though I listen carefully to my body. Right now all the information we have is mostly the info I get from MWO. We both do not want this thing to go wrong, like an epilectic attack or something like that. So, basicly, I feel a need to be reassured right now, I guess. I hope my story makes any sense.
