Good is good enough Taw. Even if you did make a pit stop don't sweat it. You're on the right path, and the path does not have to be straight and narrow to still be right.

Thanks guys! I made it AF yesterday...but the SE's at 125 are AWFUL...everyone has been so happy and feeling good at 120 and this is worse than ever...nausea is back...even with out drinking...the stoned feeling is like a bad acid trip and if feels like my tongue and lips are asleep and everything is tingling...the only good thing is everything is much sharper...the music bac buzz I could get used to...I am also see sharp flashes of light when I move my eyes too quickly...Hopefully these too will pass
I do however have to spend the day with my ex husband so AF might be really tough at about 5pm but I am going to give it a shot!!!"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

I had a similar thing happen when I first went up to 150. Intense nausea, dizziness, somnolence, etc. I spent a couple of weeks getting adjusted to that level. One thing I've found that has helped as I go up in dosage is to take my pills more often. I don't know how often you're taking them, but if you take 20mgs 6 times a day, it might be a start. When I was still trying to take my pills 4 times a day, I'd suffer intense rushes when they'd kick in all at once. I've found that more frequent dosage keeps those horrible rushes at bay.
I also found that my SEs were worsened if I was already worried about something, or if I was anxious in my day-to-day life.
Anyway, it's great that you managed to get an AF day in. If you can't do it tonight, no one is going to judge you. jkktdp! :l :h

YAY to the AF! Don't stress though, okay?
I don't have time for emoticons, but I'm dancing the jig all over the place.
YES to dosing more frequently. Every 3 hours helped me immensely.
140 is a happy place. Look there. 120, maybe, maybe not.
just keep it up, Taw. I am enormously proud of you.
Hugs and love

Well done taw, it's bigger than it seems. You've given the baclofen a chance to work...
Personally I felt nothing at 120, but there is definitely a dosage out there that's calling to you, both a feel-good dosage and a switch dose. One of the great things about going up, is that if the SE's are too much too bear, when you go down, if you have to, you won't feel a thing at a dosage that previously was rocking your world. So it's a good thing, either way!
Keep going taw, we are all rooting for you.

Oh, did I mention the weight gain? HOLY SHIT!!! People are really going to start talking! Puking and gaining weight! If they only knew it would be an immaculate conception!"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Who cares, taw? Fix this, then that. The order of repair is important.
EDIT: I don't mean to belittle your problem - but it is minor compared to the main issue, which I feel is the important one!
And well done on thee AF front - it's important to give the baclofen a chance to work without hindrance!

I know bleep! I have definite weight issues...so even a few pounds sends me into a tizzy but you are correct! One thing at a time!
I caved last night, but it was not until after 5 and only a couple...and dumped everything out before I went to bed so I have an AF zone at home tonight! And I definitely think it was out of HABIT not CRAVING!! Hmmmm...."What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Switched at 180mgs of Baclofen on 1/31/11, and again on 10/8/11 at 200mgs.

Alas, who knew wine tasted just as good out of a coffee cup!
Went up to 145 mg yesterday...BUT something is happening, I have waited at least an hour after I have gotten home to even pour a glass...when normally it was poured before my coat was off!! And only 2 or 3 glasses instead of 2 or 3 bottles! Baby steps!!"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Yay Taw, going from 2-3 bottles to 2-3 glasses is a GIANT step, no baby anywhere in there.
I'm always working on eliminating the wine glasses, although usually it's not intentional. Those tall graceful stems precariously balanced right next to my elbow and the TV remote.... lost two in the last six months.

So I was wondering as I was throwing up again this morning, if maybe it isn't bac withdrawl...and not the bac itself...I take my last dose about 9pm so by 5:30 when I get up and feel like crap it has been a while since I have taken any...
Is nausea and vomitting a sign of bac withdrawl like AL withdrawl?"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Taw,
I've wondered about this myself. Help4Me recently posted her dosing schedule and her last dose is at 8 pm and the next dose is at 7 am. You may want to pm her.
I go from 10 pm to 6 am and feel "hungover" in the morning even when I'm on a 5th day AF. This quickly goes away after I take my morning dose and go to the gym. I don't like taking he 10 pm dose, I'd rather take it at 8 pm. But I am afraid to extend the time between doses to 10 hours.
Do you feel batter after your morning dose?
Hope you feel better!Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment.
