200 units is about equivalent to 100 pints (imperial measure not US measure) of normal strength beer. Stronger beer, at 5%, would need around 70 pints or so. It is all too achievable.

Keep going Murph. Keep experimenting. Find what works for you. Good luck!

For me (I am now in 4th week @70Mg a day) BAC had strange effect that I started to drink more. Since BAC has eliminated hangovers, I do drink and smoke more...

How a man (or a woman) have 70 pints? I may be wrong but it is a AL intake equal to 5-6 bottels of vodka or whiskey...Is it really possible?

Per week, I think.

Per week make sense

Dude, of course it's per week. :H

I think 7 bottles of vodka in a day would be lethal.

I'm up to 80mg today. I'm using Bleep's method of spreading them out in to doses every 2 hours.

I am completely knackered. Deep, deep somnolence! If I stay at this dose is the somnolence likely to wear off?

Sleep, must have sleep.......

Hey Murph. I haven't chimed in here yet (I get lazy with checking in on the weekends!), so let me congratulate you on hopping aboard the bac train!

The somnolence will dissipate after awhile. Until you get to higher doses where getting a good night's sleep becomes a problem (seems to happen that way for most). Then you're naturally tired during the day because of not sleeping well enough at night!
For now, have some more coffee (or energy drink, or whatever you like to get some extra caffeine in you - those energy drinks are full of sugar though, but that's another post!). It really helps to make it through the sleepier times of the day.

A somewhat "standard" titration schedule (assuming you're going it slow and not just trying to get to the switch as fast as possible), is adding 20mg per week. You can do this by adding in an extra 10mg for 3-4 days, and then adding another 10mg for the rest of the week. Lately I've just been jumping by 20 though, and enjoying the 2 good nights of sleep that this gives me.

Obviously many others here have gone up faster, it's up to you! Good luck either way, we'll be here to help you out!

Thanks Isolde.

I didn't give in to the sleepiness yesterday and slept like a log when I went to bed. Today I'm feeling much less tired, so I think I'll bump up the dosage again tomorrow. I've got to go to London to visit the inlaws on Sunday and want to make sure I get used to the dose (and over any bad side effects) before I go. I don't want to fall asleep at the dinner table, mind you if my father in law bangs on about how crap Wales are at rugby and how England are going to thrash them in the six nations championship, I may very well fall asleep through boredom anyway.

Odd SE I've discovered is that my face hurts. It hurts from all the smiling I'm doing. It's very strange, I keep finding myself smiling for no reason and not doing my usual scowly come-near-me-and-I'll-rip-your-face-off thing. Oh yeah and another side-effect, not a surprise, it seems rather common...lack of fruition.:upset:

I had a long post planned detailing me and bac at the moment, but I'm just feeling way too stoned/foggy/knackered to be arsed. So my dosage over the last few days:
Monday 80mg
Tuesday 120mg
Today min 120gm, probably 150mg but we'll see how it goes.

Steady Murph, there's no race. I'd strongly recommend a couple of days between hops. Your body might be handling it fine, your brain meanwhile, is "stoned/foggy/knackered" and is getting more so with every increase. Let it have a bit of time to catch up.

Edit to add: I know, I know, look who's talking. It's for precisely that reason that you should consider what I've said.

:H I've noticed this in myself lately too!! I found it happening at some of the lower doses while titrating up, but now that I'm at 180mgs, it's happening again, in a big big way. I was doing it last night watching tv, just grinning away like a big ol' goofball! I thought about what someone would think if they were sitting in the room watching me, lol!!

But yeah, I think a big goofy grin is better than a scowl, any day.

I look forward to reading about your progress, Murph.

The smiling thing sounds pretty funny. I am going to look out for that in myself now. :H

Couldn't agree more, well said bleep.

Great job, Murph!

Loved your comments about your father in law and being knackered and arsed. LOL

We all should use more slang, just to make it confusing for those of us all fogged up, or to make us laugh. :k
