    Baclofen, Titration Problem, Finally Success

    Wow, 200mg is a success in itself, I would say. :goodjob: Did you hit anything you would characterize as a "switch"? Are you AF?

          Baclofen, Titration Problem, Finally Success

          I just started Baclofen last Wednesday. Started at 20mg, dosing 5/5/10 and Wed, Thurs, Friday were miserable SE's and I honestly wanted to quit. Then I read this post about the 1 daily dose theory and decided to try it. So I have taken the full 20mg a couple hours before bedtime for the past 2 nights and I wake up energized and ready for the day! Tonight will be my first increase, going up to 30 mg for 3-5 days and only 1 dose per day. Sleeping thru the SE's is great and I'm so glad you shared your experience about this :-) Hope it keeps going this well.

            John & Aug, I think taking the low dose bac long term could be helpful. I've been on it since Thanksgiving or around there, mid Nov, and went as high as 80 before I had to get off it and titrated down. I still usually take between 10-25mg a night now. I'm not sure what's doing what, but I seem to be unable to drink much right now, and not all that interested. Which reminds me to take my lithium orotate because interestingly today a beer sounds good, last night I had one only because I couldn't have aspirin due to on-going stomach upset, then realized my headache was from not eating for 8 hours or so. So whether it's the bac, the stomach upset all the time, the adding of LO, the fish oil, dunno. Hope it lasts. Starting AF on Wednesday.

            Edit: forgot to note that I drank like a fish on bac, it seemed to increase my tolerance and I drank more. Then my gut fell apart and I drank nothing, then my HBP set in and I dosed down. And here I am for what its worth.

              Hiya Bruun,
              The lower dose is definitely working for me as I am drinking 1-2 drinks per night (which I haven't been able to do for more than 10 years). So it's worth it. I don't know when or if I can go higher but after I read your and Serenity's posts about Piracetam, I dug out a bottle I bought a couple months ago and took some of that along with choline and it really seems to be helping with the SE's today. So far so good, slow and steady for me.

              Best of luck going AF. May the force be with you. :thumbysup:
