    Turboscottomatic's Baclofen Journey and, BTW - Hello!

    scott, i love your posts.

    about nyc and speed: it's a municipal law, i thought, that you have to move fast or GET OUT OF THE WAY! i can't believe, after having left there almost 11 yrs ago, people still don't know that! in my work life, and life in general, people remark on how fast i walk. i'm constantly saying to the students in my building: 'passing on the left;' 'excuse me!' teenagers are as somnolent -or manic- as baccers. and i was well-trained in my 11 years in nyc/bklyn (park slope; stroller jams became a problem, so i had to leave to the country and have my own baby where there were no sidewalks).

    ne, you weigh 60 kgs? how does that translate into pounds? just trying to get an accurate picture.

    turbs -sorry, that reads too much lilke 'turds'- turbo, your subway experience is a compelling story. i bet it might help someone to read it, if only the victim of an improperly-medicated manic's rage. 'tis good to understand these things.

    your increased affection with sally (my mothers name, btw, which i LOVE! ...she must be cool with a handle like that) makes so much sense. i am loving my students like never before, and even finding acceptance around my insane ex. you should have heard me with my native speakers (i teach spanish, purportedly) in the library yesterday. i was a zombie all day, taking naps between testing, but when they came around, i was in hog heaven! laughing all the way to tears streaming down my mejillas (cheeks). big loud belly laughs, i just loved them so much in those moments. (and still do; they are the most respectful, loving bunch of the lot.)

    EDIT: forgot to add what somma you may already know; they're exploring bac as a possible assist in dealing w autism, as it makes bac-takers better able to be affectionate and feel warm loving feelings toward another.

    i keep hearing my weekender neighbors' kids and thinking it's my son, but he's with his dad. i'm having a few beers -not vodka- and keep feeling relieved every time i realize that i'm alone (i'm a single mom with very little childcare, even from dad). this gives me time to be on mwo witout plugging him into a brain-wrecking video or game, and it gives me time to put some seed into soil, so here i go...

    oh yeah, dude with sally!, you're upstate too? i bet your country place is my town. it's a lovely place, and i bet you have good taste.

    :welcome: :thanks:

      Turbo (why the hell you keep signing your posts Scott is beyond me), Jayzus boy, but you type a lot. The somnolence thing: yeah that's really very normal I'm afraid and one, along with foggy-headedness, that is still bugging me. In fact it wasn't a problem for a long time after the switch, but I went up again in my dose and it's kicking my ass as you Americans so love to put it, although I can't for the life of me understand why one would compare these side effects with donkey cruelty, but that's an entirely different discussion.

      So you have the good SEs too. Yay, they're fun. Make the most of them, a dose change could bring unhappiness in the trouser department; sag-knob and distracted-knob lurk around the bac corner ready to leap out and mock you. And mock they do...the cruel, cruel bastards.

      But don't worry overly, you may not get these particular SEs. So chin up old thing.

        @Murph -

        Today, I got nothin but time. A rare, rainy, boring day. I talk a lot too. Heard it too many times to doubt. As far as knob-quality, that's another thing I self-medicate via internet pharmacies. Then I have ferocious-knob, diamond cutter-knob, and undistractable knob with Bollocks O'Steel all rolled into one. There you go, smoke that! A lil English and Irish all rolled into one.

        Turbo (if you insist)

          Shit, just lost a post, so I'll make this short.

          I won't argue with your shrink's titration, despite wanting to - he is willing to both prescribe baclofen and go up to a decent dose, so he is clearly a wise man. Good for him, and good for you.

          All this talk about NYC sidewalks (pavements where I come from) is making me want to hit the streets of NYC. Sounds an interesting place.

          Somnolence sucks. Nothing I have found gets rid of it, other than a nap when and if you can take one.

            Turbo, I've tried those internet knob enhancers with mixed results. Knob quality was undoubtedly enhanced, but for an overly long time. Let's just say, lunch around the in-laws the next day was an interesting experience and one filled with mirth on my mother in law's part.

              Hayzeus. Seriously. Can we have one thread that is knob-free? Or perhaps we can talk about doorknobs and knockers. No wait.

              bleep, Virginia isn't enticing, but NYC is? wtf? Oh. Right. I SO get that. Never the less, I am in Virginia and I implore you to include it in your itinerary. I'm a much too busy American type to jaunt off to NYC for the weekend. Oh. Wait. No I'm not. When do you want to meet? Are we staying at Turbo's place?

              Turbo, I liked you before, but I like almost everybody. You called me darling. Which takes it to a whole 'nother level. Now I'm batting my eyelashes and twirling my hair. (Murph, take note what a little harmless flirtation can accomplish! No bloody wanking wankers for Turbo! Nope. He cuts right to the chase! You had me at hello, too. I'm too easy. Poor husband.)

              Your experiences sound horrific. The fact that you continued seeking and finally, stopped playing holier-than-thou is inspiring. Humility? In a manic-alcoholic-rager? nice job my new friend. I like it.
              (I have yet to meet a doctor who is smarter than I am, despite the fact that I still can't wrap my head around metric numbers.) (ok. that I got. the rest? dunno.)

              130 pounds, Rudy. It makes no nevermind. 36x24x36. That's what matters. It's also a lie. and if it were true, I'd be mortified, for the record.

                SE - Headaches during orgasm (Parental Advisory....)

                No, I'm no joking, and no, it's not funny.....

                Put the kiddies in the other room for a minute.

                For the last couple of days I have been getting splitting headaches starting about 30 seconds before orgasm and lasting for an hour or so. I take ibuprofen right after the happy/sad event, so I don't know if it is responding to the ibuprofen or if it just has a life of about an hour. A quick www search lists headache as a know SE of bac.

                It's hurtie across my entire forehead but not the back or anywhere else. It is turning an otherwise awesome, neighbor-waking orgasm into something I am dreading a little, and that distraction is not such a great thing in a guy pushing 50, if you know what I mean.....

                Any thoughts or similar experiences?

                Ne: On a lighter note and for the record: a 130 lb, 36-24-36 Ne paints a pretty picture for me, in spite of your mortification ;-)


                And I'll make at least this concession to 'Turbo:'

                  Yep, had that SE. I reported it as la petite mort. It was a dose dependent SE...fortunately. Now my orgasms are pain free, well they are once I manage to free myself from the gimp suit and barbed wire shackles.

                    @Murph

                    Thank you sir.

                    I hope mine is dose dependent as well.

                    For the record, I am now on 135/day. With the super slow titration I am on, I hope this side effect's dose dependence doesn't go on interminably, or I might have to put my best quality into hibernation for a while (the horror!!!).

                      Turbo, here's where you can perhaps discuss with your shrink. If you are having horrid SE's at any level, it has been proven time and again that the best way through them is, by far, to just go above them.

                      Not that I'm rushing you or anything. As I said earlier, your shrink is on to a good thing. It is just something to consider.

                        Wow! Makes my SE's not look so bad anymore!!

                        Hope you find a happy level soon!

                          Thanks bleep.

                          I would rather bring this up here and get some sage advice from those who have come before me, blazing the Trail of Bac. I understand my psych pretty well. He is a bit of a nervous nellie regarding this treatment and his response would likely be to have me slow down rather than speed up. So if I can get some solid history here (like Murph gave), I would just as soon not go into it with him. He has already slowed things down twice, as that is a usual MD/Psych modus operandi when faced with SE's. I made myself a promise that I would step away from the driver's seat, but my patience has its limits.....

                          One way to keep going up to my 'sweet spot' is to keep my SE's to myself if I can get more experienced advice here. His experience with this treatment consists of me. If things got really
                          dicey (like suicidal thoughts or unable to function at all or something), I would let him in on it, but knowing full well that he would withdraw and I'd either give up on Bac or blaze my own trail. Headaches during orgasm don't approach that level of concern for me, especially if the King of All Knobs has had it and it went away.....

                            I just realised, I discussed orgasms with another man. Now I have to have a bleach bath or pick a fight with a huge random stranger, or just pretend it never happened. It never happened. What never happened? Ha, that's better.

                              There is a really simple solution to the problem, though I hesitate to suggest it. But I'm gonna anyway.

                              stop having orgasms. just for a while. you'll be okay. right?
