    My Diary (baclofen)

I've read others who say that the brands might be a little different. I don't know anything about that as I've only taken Pacifen.

    Looks like we're at the same level. I went up to 100mg yesterday. Good luck us!

    Yippee, :yay:
    I am on Pacifen out of New Zealand as well. I go through UnitedPharmacies.com

      Jesus edostan, if it's supposed to be a secret, don't post it in a public forum.

      Relax a little will you.

        Ed,
        Forget my post about where I get it....they are suddenly making you talk to them before completing an order. I was so scared of running low I ordered from another site to be safe.
        Your place doesn't deliver to the US. I am SO afraid of not having what I need and it terrifies me.
        May be wrong to steal your thread but we were on this subject. Sorry, but again I am so glad you are doing so well!

          It was a joke, bleep. Sorry if I offended you. If my name was a secret, I wouldn't post it.

          Started baclofen on February 16th. Now at 210mg divided into six doses per day. You do the math.

            Hi Lady. I'm confused by this post. Who is Ed?

            I'd rather not this thread become a discussion of pharmacies. I live in Japan, so my options and experiences in that area are largely irrelevant. Please check the thread's title.

            No offense, but let's stay on topic.

                Staying on topic with your eyes on the goal? Wow. That's revolutionary! Also a very good idea!

                  Ed was an abbreviation of your name, I apologize..

                  Correct, I got off the thread; I am sorry.

                    My Diary (baclofen)

                    Hey All.

                    Update on my progress:

                    So, I went to the conference from the 21st to the 23rd of Feb. Drank... a lot. Was on about 80mg at that time.

                    Came back and then my wife went away for a week (not because of me). So, have been drinking non-stop since 21st of Feb. I even managed to make a semi-fool of myself a couple of times. If you recall my first post, I'd only been drinking on Saturdays recently and had been using anatbuse to help me avoid temptation during the week. The anatbuse was absent along with my wife, so I drank. Why the hell wouldn't I?

                    Now she is back. Today is Saturday so I drank, but that is the end of it until next Saturday. Antabuse with breakfast tomorrow morning.

                    Here's what's happening:

                    Now at 120mg. [list type=decimal][*]Cravings way way up. Have not subsided since my last update.[*]Ability to drink waning. I just can't drink as much as I could before.[*]Sleepiness, comes suddenly, but also goes.[*]Short-term memory problems bordering on severe. Not working this month, so it's not so bad. But I find myself standing in a location (in front of a cabinet, or in the bathroom, for example) thinking "huh? wha?".Short-term memory problems bordering on severe. Not working this month, so it's not so bad. But I find myself standing in a location (in front of a cabinet, or in the bathroom, for example) thinking "huh?, wha?".Insomnia.Emotional. A lot of John Boehner moments. If you aren't American, he is the top Republican ＊ in the lower house of the US congress. He cries in every interview. I listened to a "This American Life" podcast on Monday. Teared up 3 times in about 40 minutes. I also find myself smiling at random strangers (please see previous post about oxytocin).[/list type=decimal]
                    That being said, I don't give a **** about any of these side effects. They are not, and could never be, as damaging or humiliating as my drinking.

                    My alcohol demon is afraid right now. It is asserting itself as strongly as it can, because it knows that I'm out to kill it. And, it knows that I will succeed. I feel for it. Nobody wants to die, right?

                    My wife is in and out. She understands what I'm doing, to the extent that any non-alcoholic can, but she is nervous about the drug and about my strangeness. She also is not convinced about the eventual outcome. Maybe if she read this forum, which I have made her promise not to do, she might understand. But, once it is real, she will come around in time. I've already come to terms with the fact that it will take some time. It took her time to learn, and to hate the fact, that I would be drunk at random and unpredictable times. It might take just as long for her to understand that I keep turning up not drunk.

                    On an unrelated note, I've decided that I will never use the words "titrate" (makes me giggle), or somnolence (there's a better word for that) in any of my posts. What's up? Are all of you doctors or something?

                    Overall, I feel good. I mentioned in someone else's thread the other night, when I was maniacally posting on every subject that popped up, that I've not felt the need to take Xanax since I started on baclofen. My current feeling about that fact is "yeah!! I've got more Xanax!!" But, I imagine that I'll come around on that one. The whole "it helps with anxiety" thing is true for me.

                    I'm so happy to be here with all of you. (he might be drunk)

                      You are funny (repeating #4).

                      Glad to hear you are hanging in there.

                      "Titrate" is funny too. I like somnolence though because it has a zombie feel about it. "Sleepy" doesn't quite describe the side effect, IMO.

                        Edostan, it's sounding good. All your SE's sound familiar - that standing in a room one, wondering what you went there for, is a classic.

                        Your wife will get the surprise of her life. Particularly if she hasn't read other threads, and doesn't know what to expect. Are you going to moderate your drinking when this is over, or do you plan a booze free life? Sorry if you've already mentioned this, but I don't recall.

                        Taking antabuse during the week might lead you to a surprise yourself. One of these Saturday's will roll around, and you'll have hit the switch in mid-week, and so suddenly won't want to take advantage of your pink ticket!

                        You'll find that those irritating words tend to fit the bill the best. We've all tried not to use them, but you end up back with them, unless you want to explain your way around them all the time. Come up with a better one, we'll all be in your debt!

                        Your demon is right to be afraid.

                          Ditto, Ditto, Ditto!
                          On every account I am the same,

                          My craving is really...gone. Every thing else..ditto! I finally had to tell the man I am going out with the truth. I am so spaced out now and I am sure he thought I went from wine to drugs.
                          I am at 140 right now..kind of skipped up on accident:nutso:

                          Thanks again,

                          We are on our way!

                            Bleep, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. Also, believe that titrating (he he) up, might be easier while I'm AF.

                            Thanks.

                              Me too! But not by accident. 130 now. Gonna try to be at 150 or so by Saturday (my next drinking day).

                                Reading my posts....

                                Hell, I am on 130 to 150...depends on how I count! I am on my way to the other side is all I can say!

                                Thank you BAC!
