Moms on bac
Morning,
Looks like the race has leveled out now Dear Luscious one. I too am on 120 mg.
I forgot to tell you that yesterday HS. I do hope that your vacation is going well, considering your son has been sick and your marriage is strained. Are you vacationing in the US, abroad? Or maybe my abroad, is your home?
Apple, hope you are getting closer to a script. Keep us informed when you start.
On another thread, a woman brought up an interesting thing that has got my wheels spinning. She brought up pregnancy on this stuff. What if a woman were to get pregnant while taking high dose bac? Thank you, thank you Ally B, for getting us thinking about this and raising a valid concern. I have my theories, but theories aren't enough as far a fetus is concerned. There is just not enough info out there regarding the safety of this drug in pregnancy.
One would have to titrate off this drug, and at the quickest and safest way possible. Also, you would have to tell your OB since it can't be stopped overnight. The developing fetus would be exposed to some bac, and the OB will need to watch your pregnancy closely, and the pediatrician will need to watch the baby closely. This sounds like more than I would be willing to risk or deal with.
There are drugs that are prescibed to women in their reproductive years that are absolute no no's to get pregnant on. Accutane is one. It is recommended that a woman is on a very effective method of birth control, if she is sexually active, and taking this drug. Maybe we should treat bac like this? Although, accutane is a class D or X drug and baclofen is a class C. Still. The plan should be, if you want to do this, but are still planning a baby in the future, that you are aware that you will need to have titrated off completely. This is not medical advice, btw. But it should be a concern and something to think about for us women.
Bac to being a Mom on this stuff. Things are still a tad rocky around here. Working on being consistant, and letting them learn that Mom now does what she says she's going to do. Whether they like it or not. It's an exhausting process, but I feel really positive about it.
Still working on hitting the switch. Drinking is improved but I haven't crossed the finish line yet. I have 2 boys starting baseball and a women's support group that starts next week, so I will have even more evenings that drinking either gets postponed, or not done at all. Yay! I figure bac is a tool, but the more I set up my evenings with non drinking activities the better.
So that's enough for one morning. How is everyone else faring?
