First of all: thanks so much to all of you giving comfort and being so helpful to others! I liked the forum right from the start, everyone being so friendly and nice even when opinions and experiences differ :thanks:
As I am new here (though having read a lot of your posts) I think it is only fair to tell you a bit about myself: I am 34 years old (female) and living in Vienna (Austria/Europe), I dont get much opportunity to practice my (scarce) english skills, so please bear with me.. (I am always grateful for corrections!! English is a real nice language)
I started taking baclofen 3 1/2 weeks ago and first I had some kind of "high", feeling a lot better, strong, calm, hopeful, and was drinking less. I have been suffering from severe anxiety and depression since I was 14, taking antidepressants and tranqulizers in often enormous doses. And what is really amazing is that since taking baclofen, my panic and fear have vanished completely, I don't need tranquilizers anymore!
But right now, I feel sooo desperate and ugly and like the greatest shit on earth. I am drinking more than I ever did for nearly a week now (two bottles of (sparkling) wine) and haven't stopped ever since. I just don't have the strenght to fight anymore, crying all the time - maybe it is also because of the terrible things that are happening in Japan (how tiny are my problems in comparison!) I just cannot imagine how it feels like to lose all your loved ones: your kids, your husband, your family)
I am at 40 mg Baclofen (raising the dose very slowly because of the severe SE I suffered from) I had a lot of hope when starting to take baclofen. but sometimes I think that it just does not work for me. I would really appreciate your opinion: maybe I am one of those (few) who don't respond to baclofen?
thanks for your patience, even if I won't get an answer I will not stop reading what you post in this forum, I get a lot of helpful advice and comfort here.
I admit that I envy all of you who succeeded in going AF with baclofen, but I also admire you and am thrilled that you do so well! :goodjob:
Lots of love, mondmobil (English translation: mobile moon )
