Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

I've been tinkering with my schedule to see whether I will be able to move to once a day. Previously I was dosing every 2 hours and that is a really good way of avoiding SEs but as I've been on this dose (150mg/day) for so long, I don't really get any SEs anymore.

First of all I switched to 4 times a day (equal doses) for a few days, then to 3 times a day, also for 3 days. After that I started gradually reducing the amount in my 2 earliest does (9AM and 3PM) and adding the extra to my evening dose (2 hours before bed). Then I cut out one of my daytime doses and as of yesterday I was on 12.5mg at 1pm and 137.5mg at 10pm. Today I've cut out the daytime dose completely and will just be taking 150mg this evening.

I've had absolutely no return of cravings and no ill effects as far as I can tell. I'll stick with this for a few days and then, if all is still well, start to slowly titrate down.

Oh yes by the way, I've been looking through all the old threads and I can not find a single bald, vegetarian, Welshman who has succeeded with Baclofen and therefore I'm convinced that this will all fall apart and I will become a slobbering, drunken, wreck pretty soon. **why isn't there an eye rolling emoticon?**

Also, the wing mirror on my vehicle has cracked. It wasn't cracked before I started using baclofen, only since. Coincidence? I think not! **we really need a rolling eyes emoticon**

Why'd you post all that waffle about doses and such? You should have come straight to the point about you being the only one, and even more importantly, the wing mirror. That's worrying stuff that is. Mine hasn't cracked yet, when do you think I should expect it to, and should I be concerned if it doesn't? Was it the driver or the passenger wing mirror?

Maybe one of the success stories was Welsh, and for some very strange reason, wanted to conceal the fact? If so, there may be hope for you yet Murph. Fingers crossed.

Sorry about the waffle Bleep. I'm just so freaked out about the wing mirror. The fact it happened to me and now YOU are worried about it happening surely means it's a baclofen se. THAT IS FACT!

OMG, I think I better titrate down before the whole vehicle falls apart.

I'd better not tell you about my wing mirror, it's a bit worse than a simple crack.

Okay, once again. What the heck is a wing mirror?

The mirror at the side of the car that you look in to see what is coming up along side you. Why what do you call it?

Side view mirrors.

Baclofen

I'm reading Dr Amiesen's book now. I wonder if any of you have gotten up to his dosage and to what result.

Hi Lario

Yes, lots of people have reached the required dosage and hit the 'switch'. The dosage seems to be different for everyone and it can be either a lot less or a lot more than Amiesen's.

Read, read, read, there's a lot of information here and a lot of success stories. There's also a lot of fluff and drivel. You just need to be able to see beyond all the nonsense.

It happened to me.

Hi Lario,

It's annoying when you read a post, and think of a helpful answer, only to have the answer given in the next post. So, yes, pretty much what Murph said...

Good luck.

Well, the once a day thing definitely does NOT work for me. Cravings returned yesterday and so I have returned to a 3 times a day schedule. And everything is once again well.

Actually not everything. I'm now wondering whether my wing mirror really is cracked. Perhaps it's just my imagination. Or maybe it is cracked but the baclofen wasn't actually responsible. It might be a psychosomatic crack. This whole SE thing is just so confusing.
