Hey, Aug.
I can relate to your dilemma having rather intimate knowledge of the industry.

Most of us have to figure out how to manage work and bac. It ain't easy.
Being on your feet in a busy kitchen, putting out fires and wielding a knife/very hot pan, while mentally juggling a couple hundred thoughts is a difficult place to enjoy the bac-mellow.
You did it drunk and hungover (I assume.) You'll have to rely on similar tools to do it with bac. Tell everyone you went on a bender, they'll bac you up! :H (I don't know anyone in the industry that can't relate to that!)

If all else fails, keep your job and go down and then bac up or something. But experience also tells me that the very job will be on the chopping block sooner or later, you know?
If you get to the goal, and are looking to relocate pm me! I know of some opportunities!

One last thing, and I hate to say it. (really) The SEs may lessen a great deal if you lay off the sauce and the chemical cocktail. Really.
Hang in there, I hope you're pretty close at 150mg/day.
:l

hanging in there..I can take the flatulence se(don't know about the others} but downstairs I am a wet noodle. Reading the sex se thread looking for some hope.

Hi Chef. Florie, who is acting as an interpreter and exchanging information from the French baclofen forum, is assuring people that the "wet noodle" is a temporary side effect - it goes away. The flatulence may be due to constipation? That's a really common side effect at higher doses. I haven't heard any sure cure for that, but I'd be inclined to treat with high-fiber food.

Oh, jeez, Aug. Can I try again?

:welcome: and :goodjob:

I am a confirmed front of the house chick (thankfully, though, not for several years) and a chef-groupie! (Loooong before that was fashionable!) I've never really understood how you can do what you do, especially since you all tend to be a lot like me in the disease-department! :H

I can't speak to the wet noodle, since I don't have a noodle. I will say that I had a similar experience until *BOOM* I went the opposite direction and started getting a, um, woody, just walking down the street. Glad that's over before spring sets in and the guy next door starts mowing his lawn shirtless in all his muscle-y glory. whew.

I hope you're navigating it all, and I'm glad you're hanging in there.
:l
And I'd agree with Tracy. I avoided the 'make you poop' stuff and stuck to high doses of leafy greens. It helped.

I am the proud owner of a noodle, and for a while I wondered why. It was completely useless. It does pass though, so take hope. Took a couple of weeks for me, but I was a bit crazy with my dose.

It's okay, lets you focus on other issues when they need it, if you just accept the fact that there's nothing going on in that department for a couple of weeks.

The constipation (if you have it) will pass too, and that in itself is almost orgasmic.

Bleep, brains are best lightly floured and fried in butter with buerre noisette and capers. I am up to 175mg bac and am cutting back on the xanax.

Haha, cool, sense of humour has survived the baclofen onslaught at least!

How are the SE's treating you?

fucked uo today. Feel like I am super drunk on 200mg. Feel sick after a few drinks (drinking about 1/2 normal) does bac work by making you sick like atabuse or is really a "brain change?"

[TracyA]

A chef in trouble

It is not like antabuse. It makes some people nauseous even when they don't drink. It definitely gets worse if you add AL, but the "brain change" is real!

Sorry to hear that the side effects are slamming you so hard. Hang tough.

It sucks in the moment.

I am really sorry you feel so badly. It sucks. No getting away from it. I hope you can treat yourself gently today. Whatever the guy version is of a long hot bath, chick-tv, and some gender-free chicken soup.
Going to bed didn't help me for the record. Made it worse because then my mind just spun and spun and I could fully concentrate on how fucked up I felt.
TV, video games, computer helped.

The 1/2 normal amount thing? Good, good, good news. As is the hangover from hell. Kept me from drinking last night.
It doesn't "work" like antabuse, but it sure punishes like it sometimes.

unfourtunatly I am at work.

[bleep]

Work doesn't help, hangover or no. I also went through a period where hangovers were absolutely fucking brutal. I found that it wasn't so much a hangover, as a massive attack of SE's. Then, at a later date, they disappeared completely, and I'd wake up 2 hours after a session completely refreshed. It was very peculiar.

It's all just a sign that it's working. Try take some solace from that. Hard to find comfort in anything with a bac hangover though.

[Augman]

A chef in trouble

I don't know if I can do this anymore.

[bleep]

Shit Augman, that's terrible to hear you say.

Maybe drop a little and stay at that dose for a while, to let your body adjust? It will adjust after a few days, and with a slight decrease, you should feel perfectly normal.

What are you feeling at the moment that makes you say that?
