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

Facade,

Reading this thread with my coffee is a morning ritual for me. It just starts the week off right! I am definitely part of the fan base mentioned earlier.:blah:
One just can't help but smile


Have a great week everyone!

LL

Oh and Murph, there is something about your Avatar that is just too feminine to be your @$$:bigwink:

Not sure DG, everything seems to be going a bit weird(er than usual). I'll update later when I understand it all.

I'll second that.

You're right. In fact there was so much wrong with that avatar, not least of which it was a little too crude and suggestive. Hopefully I've now corrected that.

RedH, what exactly did you think it was? Hmmmm? Come on now, tell the class.

I don't want to admit it. I thought it was a British term for the American term that rhymes with hooch. :H Good to know it's a bird. Was this discussed in a previous part of the thread? If so, I'm ashamed to say I missed it. According to wikipedia, we have them in North America.

Which Queen? We have so many here, probably even more than in California.

Facade, where are you with baclofen at the moment. Last I saw, it had swiped your anxiety and all was good. Is that still the case? Are you drinking, drinking less? What dose are you on and are you changing it at all?

Sorry to be nosey, it's just that I'm...errrr...nosey.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I see that you may have Welsh history. As such, here is a video consolation prize that assures you that The Free World is aware of your existence:

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

I’m all sorts of fugdup. This may be a long post, so go make yourself a cup of tea.

I’m on 325mg/day and I feel like crap. I’m not sure how long I’ve been on this dose; I think it must be a week but the SEs aren’t getting any better. I don’t know for sure what I was on before I went up. I think it was 275 but for some reason I also think it might have been 225.*

I’ve been taking my doses the same way throughout: split evenly every 3 hours 7.00 10.00 13.00 16.00 19.00. This was working well at the lower doses but when I tried it at 325, it meant I ended up taking 75 sometimes, which really didn’t work out too well: the SEs got much worse…obviously, Duhhhh! So in order to keep the individual doses down to 50, which I was used to and happy with, I added extra dose times of 22:00 and 0:00. This messed with my sleep, which was already not good, so as I was getting up at 04:00 anyway, I thought I’d start taking the pills then and get rid of the 00:00 dosage time (following? no? why the fuck not? read through it again and take notes this time fercrissakes!).

That worked, in so much as I don’t have to take pills at midnight, which I would be likely to forget to do, but my sleep was still messed up and now I don’t even get that early morning couple of hours of normalcy and clarity that allows me to write quickly and clearly. God alone knows how long this post is going to take me; I think I’ve already been at it for half an hour. So I’m going to try every 2 hours. That might work.

Oh yes, the side effects I am experiencing:
Sleep strangeness: I’ve been waking up throughout the night from the start of this baclofen thing and that’s not changed, what has is waking up and being rather confused. Last night my wife asked me why I was standing in the corner, naked and not in bed. I didn’t have a sensible answer. The night before my wife woke me up because the 6:15 alarm had gone off. Ten minutes later, I looked out the window, saw it was still dark, checked the clock and it was 01:25. She was less than impressed when I interrupted her shower to ask why the fuck she’d got me up so early. Apparently I’d woken her. I don’t remember doing it. At least I’ve stopped doing the strange, no warning, micro sleep thing, where I suddenly fall asleep mid sentence/step/piss etc.

Twitching: the electric shocks in the arms thing has been going on non-stop; not reduced at all.

Dizziness: I can’t bend down without almost fainting when I get up. I can’t bend down anyway because my stupid hip is fugdup. I’m experiencing motion sickness while sitting still. It’s happening now. When I look at my monitor, the tiniest vibration from my hands causes the screen to move, almost imperceptibly but enough for me to notice and enough to make me feel like I’m on board a ship in a gale.

Nausea: Self-explanatory.

Sex: Horny as hell, all the time; a walk around the supermarket reveals at least 2 dozen women I’d merrily shag in a heart beat. I don’t mean it would all be over in a heartbeat, far from it because that’s the other sex SE: fruition takes an age. And I get too dizzy and nauseas for sex anyway, so all those female shoppers will have to do without the hot Murph love they’re probably desperately missing in their lives. The poor cows!

Memory: Both short and long term is shot atm. I walk into a room and can’t remember why I went in there, and I forget how to do the same things I’ve been doing weekly for years. I can’t give you an example because I can’t remember any. Ha!

Memory: Both short and….OK, crap joke.

Words/u>: I’m sure I used to know more of them.

Stoned: The bac-high came back when I went up in dose. That was fun for a day, after a week not so much. I went to visit a client this morning (needless to say I found her exceptionally sexy) and I’m pretty sure she thought I was stoned. Stoned and grinning at her cleavage probably. Murph on HDB is not the sort of person I want visiting my clients.

Zonked, muggle-headed, bac-brained, general foggyness: none of the drugs/supps I use help with this, they just make me feel nauseas.

At least I’m not drinking. But then again if I were to pour a glass, I’d probably forget where I’d put it, or my spasmy hands would spill it. It’s only partly the baclofen that’s stopping me drinking. I have greatly reduced cravings of course, but sudden urges do appear at times. I’m using willpower to ignore them, which is almost unknown for me.

How have I suddenly found willpower? Diet. I’ve been shedding the pounds, except when I started drinking again. Despite sticking to my previous diet, the extra calories from booze were actually making me put on weight. Either that or the half litres of Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food Ice cream I keep buying when I’m pissed. Probably both. So, now I’m so determined to continue losing weight I actually stop myself drinking. This is the solution to alcoholism and I’m happy to share it with you all now: just channel your inner, body-dysmorohic teenage girl and you won’t want to drink.

Ta-da! Alcoholism cured! No need to thank me.

Now I’m going to have a nap. I’ve recently discovered napping and I like it.

*Note to noobs: don’t do what I did. I titrated randomly and without a plan and continue to do so. I didn’t keep records of when I increased or decreased or how long I stayed on a dose. This is important because it helps you plan for the future; you need to know where you’ve been so you know where to go. I call this haphazard way of taking baclofen ‘Doing a Murph’. Not to be confused with ‘Having A Murph’, which is when a woman pleasures herself whilst thinking about me, which they all do, all the time. Who can blame them?


EDIT: can someone please remind me why the fuck I'm going through this shit? Apart from the fact I'm getting all angsty about my body like a soppy teenage girl.

Man, I remember those SE's fondly. The walking into a room one in particular. It got so bad at one point, I'd actually wonder what room it was, let alone what I'd gone in there for.

The sleep is the most disruptive of all, I found. Not that I was tired, other than severe 3PM somnolence at the office desk, but that there's fuck all to do at 3AM when you are wide awake and edgy.

No funny pinging noises in your ears? I always got that. Sounds cool, once you realise they aren't real.

Going higher at this point will most likely lead to more of the same, or more different ones. You need to adjust, I reckon, which should happen soon.

IIRC, you were at 275 for a while when you decided to go up, by 50, because your tablets are 25. Does that ring a bell?

Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday, but I bet you never thought this would happen? Other than the client visits, the rest won't kill you, so try and enjoy it! Close your eyes and spin in fast circles, see if that helps with the nausea?

Welcome to HDB.
(Sorry for repeating myself here.)
I was wondering if you were going to put on a skirt.

What about the body? Ready to take a picture yet? I'd prefer clothes, but maybe you can offer the nekkid ones to the highest bidder?

I'd actually pay for the one we talked about eons ago, in a cloche and kitten heels and something else?

Hang in.

Lol thanks DG. It's all gone a bit sucky but at least I know its only temporary...well most of it.

Try doing what with vegetables? Actually, me and the dogs have been eating carrots from the garden this evening. The dogs go crazy for them but it's important not to let them actually see where I get them from, otherwise they'll dig them up themselves. I made that mistake with the peas. :upset:
