Yer cute...
I'm sure there is some wisdom in that little tiny print, but I can't read it. I think it says something about stop breathing, but I can't be sure.....

Believe me that's a given. Orgasms will be absolutely unattainable now that line has been crossed.

My Mood: Disgusted with TV.
Solution to my mood: Stop watch that crap (:-|

Hi All,
Out of touch for a bit - life has the audacity to demand my attn sometimes.

Hard for me to know where to go with this thread....

I did a big diatribe as an intro, here's who I am, here's where I am with the baclofen, blah blah blah.....

The thing is, I am currently just going up to 150/day (starting tomorrow) at the turtle pace I've described before (per my psych) and I have had some side effects, but have to report them historically, since I started this thread well after I began to blaze my own baclofen trail. I don't have much in the way of side effects right now, but I'll go through them as I reflect back, as much for 'the record' as to help others out in case some folks around here experience what I have.

Earliest (Bad) side effect

My Mood: lame

I played fast and loose with my initial titration, not following what my psych and I agreed upon. I remembered I was supposed to be up to 20/20/20 over the course of 4 weeks, and the titration we agreed upon sort of slipped my mind.

So it was supposed to be:

5/5/5 for one week, then
10/10/10 for one week, then
15/15/15 for one week, then
20/20/20 for one week, then I see him again.

What I DID was something like:

5/5/5 for about 3 days, then
10/10/10 for about 3-4 days, then things were going so well (no SE's at all) I went to
20/20/20 for the next 3 weeks or so.

When I did that, doubling my dose twice over the course of about 1 week, I experienced definite aggression and general pissed-off-ness. Honking at people, flipping people off, F you, F you too, and you too just for good measure. I take Lamictal 200 twice a day and a total of about 1 mg Klonopin daily (varies according to the stressfulness of my day) as treatment for a bipolar 'genetic gift.' It felt like the Baclofen was undoing all the good (great) work that the bipolar meds were doing for me. I thought about dropping the baclofen idea due to this early, lame-ass SE. It was way too early to begin feeling anything good from the baclofen and I started off feeling bad. It took most of the 3 weeks at 20/20/20 for the badness to go back to Hell where it belonged. By the time I saw my psych again the aggression and foulmindedness had receded and I reported it to my psych. It was 'noted' and that was about it. My titration continued at an increase of 5/5/5 per week (later went down).

Looking back at my posts, I realize I've said all this before. Kind of lame, but WTF. I hate wasted typing. I want to lay things out chronologically, with a little order n shit.

Turb,

Wow! aggression has never hit me on Bac! I think it is your yankee nature and you need to be a calm southerner! Give it time my friend. Dang, and you mentioned the word "rim" with Murph?:H
Sorry, I have not read everything, I am just catching up.

Let me read more and I will be back. Give it time for the aggression part; it does work!

Hey Turbo, glad you're back with us.

I'd have struggled with that titration as well, it must be said. It's interesting that you're as high as 150mg's and not really feeling any SE's, perhaps a slow titration has something to be said for it? Hard to say though. I've seen aggression reported a couple of times, well done for pushing through it. Strange SE's appear at different levels, I'm going to suggest (again!) that if you get to a level that has unacceptable SE's like that one did, that you not hang around at it, and instead immediately hop up another 20mg's. You'll find the particular SE more than likely disappears.

Not to be a stickler, but Murph mentioned 'rim(job)' and 'licked' in the same sentence, not I. My sentence was 'You know you liked it.' which brought Murph to experience 'licked' and 'rim-job' in the same sentence. Perhaps for the first time. I think Our Lord and Savior has brought me to this board to be the inadvertent conduit for Murph to explore his 'whole self.' Dirty work, but someone's gotta do it....

Pain during orgasm part 2:

IT HAS GONE AWAY!!!

THAT'S RIGHT! I gotz the neighbors complaining about the joyful noise again. Woo woo!

My dose hasn't changed much since it started. I think the problem began at 135/day and stopped at 150/day. It lasted for about 3 weeks. Maybe this foul, hateful SE was sort of time/dose dependent for me....

Any comments from Murph or others are most welcome ;-)

:goodjob:

I'm pickin up what yer droppin, my friend. That's exactly how it went. It came - I think as a result of too fast too soon. Then I hung for a bit, then increased again and it was a thing of the past. Also, at that point I didn't have any reference or sage wisdom such as I get from this forum, so increasing to get away from SE's was the last thing on my mind. It's a funky paradox to say the least. Same with the painful orgasms. It happened, I hung, I increased, it went away.

Also, the 'I hung' part has to do with my commitment to stay on point with my psych. I don't like the slow titration and he knows it. That being said, I don't want him to say 'fuck you. I won't do this anymore because you are breaking the agreement we had.'

I'm thankful to have the oversight and guidance and don't want to fuck that up and have to go it alone. And I like getting my drugs for more or less free. Not to brag, but I just picked up a jug of bac (270 20mg pills) for about $20.

Turboscottomatic's Baclofen Journey and, BTW - Hello!

Turp,

And I believe he used "rim" and "baggin'" in the same phrase with his dogs,

I wonder where the SPCA is or if they recognize satisfied canines when they hear/see it?


:H

I love Murph and everyone knows it:h

[turboscottomatic]

Turboscottomatic's Baclofen Journey and, BTW - Hello!

Southern Girl / LL,

Was that 'baggin' or 'tea-baggin?' If the latter, those would be some very , very satisfied canines indeed....

It's early in our relationship so I don't know if I LOVE him or not, but I'm very impressed with what I see so far. Don't know if tea-baggin is in our future, but we'll see what develops.

:yes2:

Damn,

It was Tea-baggin!

He said they were fixed though or something.
Shoot I will have to go back and read his thread!

I met him at the baby food aisle comment:muahaha:

I have never been the same:H

Turboscottomatic's Baclofen Journey and, BTW - Hello!

Funniest damn thread yet. As far as language goes, being an Aussie, I am on Murph's side all the way, you Americans talk funny. When it comes to tea baggin and rim jobs I am confortable leaving that to you older gents to explore.

[bleep]

Turboscottomatic's Baclofen Journey and, BTW - Hello!

Certainly there has been some strange and esoteric practices explored in this thread. Like you Dave, I'm happy to leave them to others.

Glad you're seeing the lighter side of baclofen Turbo. It is very counter intuitive, the way it works, but kudos for sticking to you titration through it.

And getting that amount of baclofen for that price, is bragging.
