Bleep, there's like big animals and shit...and little tents. That's prolly a bad combo.

WTF is with that crazy paving? LOL.

Cool, but it all looks a bit too...non-urban.

Those are beautiful! Why would you think those would be boring? And you would need to throw a broad in? At first, I was like wow.....Bleep's hot wife. Then I read more. Glad you didn't post your hot wife on here, Bleep. :H

Thanks people! I guess it's the "Let me show pictures of my holiday" mentality that I was afraid of. Traditionally the best way to put your guests to sleep.

There is STILL no reasonably priced baclofen in the country. I can't believe how inept these people are. And this is despite me having a long talk to the pharmacist, explaining that my dose was much higher than normal, so they would go through their stock quicker than they thought. That it was very important that they never run out, etc... All to no avail.

I really want to up my dose, and these clowns are making it impossible.

On a different note, I just saw the movie "Limitless" Good film, it reminded me very much of baclofen. The guy takes a pill which opens up his brain and does amazing things because he can now think properly. Sound familiar? Okay, he never had weird SE's, but once those are gone, the world opens up. Increased motivation and focus make anything possible, and having a clear head to work from is a real treat.

After the resounding response to my last post, I am forced to conclude that holiday snaps do indeed turn people off. This post is strictly baclofen oriented as a result.

I am on 220mg's, and it is just not enough. As those who follow this thread will know, baclofen is the only tool in my toolbox. When it's not enough, I am doomed. As a result, I find myself pinting merrily away. I say merrily, because I am aware that's it's a result of a baclofen shortage that I am like this. Having pinned all my hopes on baclofen, I am doomed when I run short.

This may seem pathetic to those who have a toolbox, and use it extensively. It might very well be. I know what indifference is like though, and that makes it very hard to try anything else.

Well, living in Zim has it's plusses, but it comes with some very fucking big minuses. One of which is that the country is very disorganised, and has run completely out of baclofen. I just purchased the last 500mg's in the country, and it has bought my total baclofen supply up to 660mg's. There are one or two more pharmacies that I haven't been able to reach on the phone that I have still to try, but it doesn't look like I will be able to add to the 660mg's.

Some extremely helpful people have tried to send some (thank you!), but our postal service is as bad as our customs are sticky fingered. This means FedEx is likely to be stopped at the border, and regular post is likely to be lost. Still I have tried the regular post route, so far nothing. I hope to try the FedEx route shortly.

So, barring some sort of miracle, I have to wean myself off baclofen using 660mg's. Is it enough? I have reduced doses by 100mg's before with no SE's, and also gone 24 hours without with no ill effects.Today, I'll take a 100mg's, tomorrow 60mg's, reducing down to zero gradually, as my supply dictates. I think even if I somehow get a miracle supply, I have to wean off until I can establish a solid supply of this stuff. This fucking around with my dose is playing with my head, and I am very tired of it.

Having just declared my reliance on baclofen, I am loathe to do this, but I don't see another way. I can't believe it has come to this

Dude.
Love the pix. We better be friends for long enough that when I actually have the wherewithall to travel I can visit you and yours in Zim.

about the bac: Seriously? Note to all in countries without reliable postal service: Plan WAY ahead.

Thanks Ne, there's a place waiting for you when you come. Come now, in fact. Bring a big suitcase and fill it with baclofen!

I have been trying to plan ahead, for some time now. I took the pharmacist aside after my second prescription, explained the whole thing, and stressed how important it was that I never ran out. He assured me it was a simple matter to order more. I did the same at another pharmacy, and got a second doctor to prescribe as well, in case the first got cold feet. I tried to order online and have it sent to other people, who then send it to me. Using this method, it took about 4 months to receive one shipment, so that was out. When I was in South Africa recently, I visited chemists there to discuss the possibility of filling prescriptions across borders. They won't do it.

I'm not sure what more I could have done?

I didn't mean you!!! Geez.
Tell us about the setup in ur country?

I know you weren't singling me out. I hoped that by putting that out there, someone would go "Oh, you haven't tried this!" and I would have another route to try.

I'm not sure how it works here, or why it's so poor. The pharmacy itself is well presented, the people seem competent and friendly. The whole economy is just slowly reviving after a complete meltdown, and that has something to do with it. People here just aren't very driven, it seems, and as a result, people like me go into withdrawal. I would hate to be on actual life-threatening types of medication that require a 3rd party to obtain, although this isn't that far from it.

I've tried all the pharmacies, there is one who won't answer their phone for some reason, so I'm going to take a drive there on the way home. I expect a miracle to happen somehow, it's worked often enough in the past. Perhaps a parcel will be waiting for me when I get home? Or I'll find a box of baclofen that I misplaced in my hazy titration period. Something will turn up. Failing that, it looks like it's another experiment in the offing.

Bad situation my friend. Barring a miracle happening I'll be reading your posts with great interest tomorrow and the next day. Rather you than me!

Are there any drugs that can mitigate withdrawals if the worse comes to the worse. Maybe get some phenibut, GHB (if you can get it without being arrested) and keep them handy. As a last resort I expect that having a drink will ease withdrawals but obviously try not to use that as an excuse! Have you explained the situation to your wife?

[bleep]

Hah - I had also thought about getting some GHB from somewhere. But then I realised I'd have to trip for weeks to wean myself off it! Not in itself a bad thing, but obviously not an ideal solution.

Would boozing help? I have been trying to work it out. Again, not an ideal solution!

The tapering down will be interesting, to say the least. On 100mg's today, it's the lowest I have ever been on since starting this, and plan to go to 70 tomorrow. Going to have a baclofen party if I manage to get some from somewhere, that's for sure!

The miracle arrived. Driving home, I passed a pharmacy that all the other pharmacies had said not to bother with. I thought there would be no harm in trying, and was very surprised when she handed over a fistful of baclofen, at the old prices as well! So the disaster has been averted for the time being.

I still need to sort out my supply lines though - there's no way I can rely on this lot to do it for me. Exactly how I will do this I haven't worked out yet, but at least I have some time to think about it now.

What this has done is aroused my curiosity about tapering down. What is a safe speed at which it can be done, I wonder. Dropping my dose today dramatically was unpleasant, I felt unsettled the whole day, although whether this was due to my situation, or the reduction, I couldn't say. While the experiment would be a good one, I'm sick to death of having different doses all the time, it is playing with my head, so I will leave it for another time.

I look forward to the time when my supply is all sorted, and I can just sit at the correct dose for a while.

Bleep, I am so glad to hear you found some Bac. Glad your not going to mess with your dose for awhile. By the way I loved your Holiday Pics. I would like a baby elephant. z
