Baclofen titration/taper suggestions and opinions
Tit
Yes, you titrate up or down, so instead of saying, "I titrated up 10 mg" and "I titrated down 10 mg" you could say something shorter.
"I upped 10mg" or "I lowered 10 mg" Titrate is extra verbiage, there's a more efficient way to go and leave the tit behind.

"Ok, let's leave the tits behind!!
You in Pony??"
Good God, no! Are you mad?!
The verb might just as well be titrationing, which brings to mind Joseph Stalin deciding that from now on, tits are no longer to be enjoyed by ordinary bolsheviks as they are needed on the Moscow front --- oh shitness, that's what actually happened...)
Back to the deeply serious matter at hand
"Pony, would you still advise a slow increase if there are no SE's?"
Yikes. I don't feel I'm qualified to answer this one, beyond generalities, as I only had to go to 75mg/day to get results. I was prepared to go to 400 or whatever, but I got lucky.
Tentatively I would say yes, if you are feeling ballsy, go for it. If horrendous SE's hit you, just remember, no one has died (as far as we know) from this stuff. Though there's always a first

Is it Tigh-tration (eg Yankee puritan english)
Or TIT-tration (correct and proper English)
Just one vote, but I say we stay with the correct and proper English. Granted I have some bias.......Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment.

I think it was one of the brainiacs from earlier times that thought a few accurate scientific words couldn't be a bad thing for us 'don't really know anything about this stuff but lets give it a go' lab rats.
I'm all for moving forward and to make more homey we can call it tiiting up or titting downStarted Baclofen 3/9/10 Hit my switch at 250mg on 21/11/10 3.125mg/Kg

Oh yes
Lot in this lovely thread, Nev get a toy boy or something. Dog goes to the hairdressers!!!!!!!!!
Bleep I think I asked the same question, either in my mind or here. The two places sometimes get a bit blurred especially at higher doses!
I couldn't find any contraindications to ramping up the Bac apart from SEs and there have been a no. of people with whom this has been successful. I think that Bac does take time to build in the system but also that you the individual take time to get used to the fact that you no longer need to drink.
A few people here have come to the realisation that the holy grail can be found whilst tapering off (titting down) the Bac.Started Baclofen 3/9/10 Hit my switch at 250mg on 21/11/10 3.125mg/Kg

So is the dose based on weight or how much you drink? or combo of the two...or just up to how it works on whoever it works for?"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson
