Sexual Side Effects of Baclofen

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not sure it's a good idea to take both Viagra and Ciallis at the same time. Is that what people do? I don't know. If so, yeah whatever. But, it might well be a very bad idea to take viagra with baclofen. Viagra increases BP (I think) and so does baclofen (often, but sometimes lowers it ), so the combination of the two might have you stroking.......no, not that sort of stroking.

The sag-knob (that's the correct medical term for this condition) might be caused by things other than baclofen, especially if you've been at this dose for some time and the problem has only just occurred. Have you been to your GP about it? Has s/he done a prostate exam? Personally I'm with Tony Soprano on that one *, but it might be an idea to check out other potential causes.

Nope its caused by baclofen. I was just fine until I started bac. It got progressively worse as I titrated up. I've been at 200 mg for a long time now and its not getting better. Oh and I didn't mean I would take them both at the same time. Just possibly try them both.

You've been at 200mg for a long time. Is that your switch or maintenance dose? It's not relevant, I'm just being nosey.

I really wouldn't go sourcing viagra yourself if I was you. You really need a doc to take your BP and prescribe it, especially when you're already taking a medicine that alters your BP.

BTW, we are talking about Mr Floppy coming to town are we? Erectile dysfunction is quite unusual with baclofen (as far as I can tell), the more common problem is retarded ejaculation and viagra won't help with that.

There were definitely levels when I couldn't have got it up for love or money. And I tried for both.

B, just tell him/her. It's not, um, unusual. And it's not um, necessary to have the problem ongoing in order to get a script.
I agree with murph about the viagra vs the cialis. And for other reasons, too.

It's fun. Really fun. It's also ridiculously expensive, fyi.

C and V do the same job. By the way, yes for most they will be fun but there are one or two folk for whom either can make them exceedingly ill. From migraines and flashing lights to six months unable to work.

These were a minority but still enough to make you at least a little cautious. By the way in the cases I know of, V had actually been taken under medical supervision........

Anybody remember Jason Stackhouse from True Blood? When he drank too much "V" (vampire blood)?

That's what would happen to me if I took any V or C.

It's not that "Mr. Floppy" doesn't work at all...it's just lack of feeling or sensitivity and trouble keeping it up. I have a lessened desire as well. Fuck I don't know, but it's annoying. I was spared of all of the other bullshit side effects that everyone else seems to get and got stuck with what seems to be the most rare of them all... that's my luck.

200 is just a maint. dose I decided to stick with. I went up as high as 300 ala Lo0p style. Very few side effects. I suppose I could play with lowering the bac dose, but I'm so afraid to mess up a good thing.

I don't know for sure when I hit my switch, but I'm pretty sure I'm there as I bought a six pack back in late January and over the course of two weeks opened four of them on different nights and didn't finish any of them... so I threw the other two away. I haven't had a drink since. Not that I am purposely avoiding it. I just don't give a shit.

I'm not going to do anything until I talk to Dr. L. about this. I was just waiting it out and was frankly, too embarrassed to mention it to him before. I realize that is childish so I will mention it on Thursday.

Thanks for the feedback peeps. And you fuckers are lucky :h

Quick update. Decided to not mess with V or C but did get changed over to a different brand of Baclofen and the sexual side effects don't seem to be quite as bad with this brand. I'm still not back to normal I don't think, but things do seem to be better. I was on Teva brand from Walgreens before but am now taking Qualitest.

Anybody else taken Qualitest baclofen from a US pharmacy?

So I still have this problem. It's horrible. I guess I am going to start tapering down on the Baclofen and see what happens.

Geez, Bminor, I'm sorry.
I can't say that I understand. I really can't, I guess.
To answer the first question, I used to take only Teva brand, but I've recently realized that I wasn't being diligent (read neurotic) and have been taking a variety of them. Who knew?

Have you talked to your doctor, any doctor, about this? And did you look into C or V? (I can't recommend them highly enough, assuming you don't have something else going on???) I guess I have two concerns for you: What are the implications for your continued success with bac? and what if there is something physical going on that is related to bac, maybe, but is more serious? (blood pressure or something?)
Take good care, B!

Definitely playing around with your dose seems to be in order. See if you can't find some sort of middle ground that makes everyone happy.

I take a complete mix of brands, sometimes on a daily basis. It all depends on what is available in the country at any given time. There are certainly times when I don't feel up for it, I hadn't thought to look to certain brands.

I don't know about you guys but sober sex seems kind of awkward when you've had only drunken sex for a long time. Now I have to worry about not having an orgasm? So my sober sex fantasy might be getting derailed. I guess I shouldn't even post this until it happens. I like to come here, though. No pun intended.

Red, I hadn't even thought about sober sex until I read your post. Now, I am scared. lol

I, too, had issues the higher the dosage. When I don't have a partner, the only time I don't want to pleasure myself is when I am hungover. This is because it just doesn't work. I noticed sometime around 120mg's that I wasn't interested in pleasuring myself. However, I have been noticing men lately. lol Maybe, I am just sick of myself and wanting someone else to do it for me. lol
