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

Nail on the head and all that Murph.

The thing with reaching indifference is this - I used to think the word was perfect, that I was truly indifferent to alcohol. I suppose it still fits, but now I have an... aversion? Is that too strong a word maybe, to getting pissed. Not to alcohol, to getting pissed. I really don't want to get drunk anymore, and that's where the change comes about.

Before, I wanted to get drunk, so having 3 drinks was a small precursor to the act, a warm up. Now 3 drinks means I might get drunk if I drink more, so if I get there, I don't want to go further. It is a strange yet normal place in my head that I live in now.

I don't think I'm explaining this very well. I said it somewhere else better, along the lines of getting drunk used to be a goal, now it's a horrible consequence, or something like that.

I think you explained it perfectly, at least it made perfect sense to me but I'm in that place with you.

I think "aversion" may be a better description than "indifference".....but still not quite right?

Mine got worse, though, to the point where the little electric shocks manifested themselves as involuntary spasmic jerks of the hand, making me drop glasses, hit things, and miss things. A little humourous sometimes, but mostly frightening.

This SE has abated somewhat over time.

Murph, I believe this was the post you were referring to the other day when you mentioned "some gals" experiencing and enjoying new sensations in my "Quick Question" thread when I was asking about the shocks.

Wish I'd read all of this then. What a week teaches you!

Murph,

This is such a great thread. Thank you for continuing to post.

You are possibly saving many lives with it.

Not sure about drunk sheep in Wales, though. Do the Welsh feed their sheep alcohol?

In Texas, they jealously guard their alcohol from any and all comers, especially the animals. (Darned armadillo!!)

ps I forgot to mention the reason I am posting is because I suffered my usual horrible SE of throwing up last night. Not only was I incredibly sick, but then I worried, "did I throw up the Baclofen? Should I take another dose? If so, how much?" Geez the brain of an alcoholic. BUT, I woke up at 2:30 a.m. and came on to MWO and started reading your thread and some others and I know I will forge ahead. Just make some adjustments regarding food, etc, to help keep the nausea at bay. This gastric bypass thing has caused no end of trouble for me. I wanted to say thanks for being here.

Sorry to hear you are still suffering. I don't think I would double the dose up, rather just stick to your normal schedule and hope some was absorbed. If you are taking it as often as I was, a missed / thrown-up dose doesn't really matter anyway. Another guess though, so your's is as good as mine!

The Welsh are supposed to have a special "relationship" with sheep. Think cuddling up on a cold, dark night sort of relationship... A standing joke was to point the sheep out over a cliff, so it is forced to push backwards. Does that clear it up?

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

Alexan, no that's not it. I'm sure I read someone saying they ummm enjoyed the tingling sensation. But then I did go through an ultra horny period on baclofen, so I might have just imagined it. :blush:

Cinders, sorry to hear about the puking. Is it the baclofen that's causing it? I see Moglor posted about some other stuff you're taking that might be responsible?

And regarding the sheep thing, as Bleep says, the Welsh are meant to enjoy the company of sheep. Wales, where men are men and the sheep are nervous. It's supposedly why Welsh farmers wear wellington boots, so they have somewhere to pop the sheep's hind legs.

OMG, Murph and Bleep, on the sheep thing, TMI!! (Sorry I asked. Not!! :H)

Baclofen caused this last time. It is the only drug I have added to my needed regimen. I also take Gabapentin and BP meds along with it.

However, I am a GB patient (might I add, idiot,) so the stomach is small and sensitive.

Pretty sure the quart or so of vodka I have been drinking daily for months hasn't helped it a bit.

Why I am trying for AF while doing Baclofen. I have decided to add Naltrexone and that will be even harder. But, there are ways to deal as long as I am vigilant.

Always eat something before taking the Baclofen, keep up with my Prevacid doses, and stay away from the Vodka.

I will be fine. I have to do this!!

Love,
Cindi

No Coal I didnt meet any teddy bears surprisingly the state I was in I could have had a good party with them, also I agree about the armadillo being exotic, ha ha ha, I once saw a rat and tried calling it over though to try and talk to it but it was having none of it, I must have smelled really bad that day!
I do find the word tool funny especially when its kept in a box (cricket anyone)

ps My rear view mirror dropped off BEFORE I started bac, was it having a premonition?

[Murphyx]

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

I'm pretty sure it must have been. The connection can not be ignored.

Talking of cars. I pranged my motor sometime in the first couple of weeks of baclofen. I blamed the other driver for stopping too fast (he was being a prick because I beeped him for not indicating so he slammed his breaks on) but if I hadn't have been all bacced up I would probably have been able to react in time.

That was the only time in 25 odd years of driving that I've been responsible for an accident.

Bac and driving are a dangerous combination, especially when your mirrors keep cracking and dropping off all over the place.

God, I love this thread. Sheep now Murph? I thought it was just oral with dogs? :H:H
My husband once told me that female sheep are anatomically similar to human females. I should have kicked him out that day, and not waited. I asked him, how in the hell he knew that. He said his dad grew up on a farm in Iowa. RIGHT! :H

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

Red,

My ex told me that too and guess what? He was born in Waterloo Iowa!
Guess that's why he left me for a woman that lives on a farm!
I wonder if the horse face knows...
She has to; sheep are much cuter than horses...:biatch:

:muahaha:

Murph and Bleep, ya'll are too funny with the sheep. I took a human sexuality class in college and it said that like 10% (really can't remember, probably hung over) of people raised on farms have their first sexual experience with an animal. I couldn't believe that. Now, I am reconsidering that fact. Murph, that is one of my biggest pet peeves, people who don't use turn signals. I think it was their fault because they did not warn you they were turning.
@Lady, I love Texas. We are neighbors. My dad lived in Dallas when he was alive and my family evacuated to Houston during Hurricane Katrina. Everyone there was so nice to us. I also lived in Corpus Christi for a couple of years. Great place to live. Thank you for your support. Ya'll are all so great.
