Please post your experiences(good or bad)they could be really helpful to us Newbies!

Thanks for the insight!

Rudy B,
That seems pretty mild compared to what I felt on Topamax(the whole reason for this website)
On topa- I couldn't even type my last name,give directions to my house,or do my job(mortgage loans).

I bunched up 30mg before bed without thinking too much about it, woke up two hours later and the world was spinning and I was quite confused. I thought 'whatt, I must have had loads to drink last night if my heads still spinning like this' - before remembering I had an AF day the day before :l legs were weak when I got out of bed, and needless to say I didnt fall back asleep that night!

One of the many SEs I experienced with Baclofen was extremely greasy hair lank hair, and skin. I also was extremely puffy, depressed and having constant thoughts about death.

I know these aren't 'official' SEs but when I tapered off they all cleared up. I did try some reasonable AF periods whilst on Bac to see if this would improve things, but they were still there (much less but still bad enough to be unmanageable).

Well, I have officially started my Bac. Now I know I'm only on 10mg 2x a day, but so far not too much to write home about. I just feel pretty relaxed. I'm sure things will change once my mg's go up.
I'll keep you posted.....

Great to hear Faith! I initially never replied to this thread, I'm not sure why. I had many SE's, but enjoyed them, for the most part. I had fun on my titration, so it is possible...

Best of luck with yours!

Sleep loss was the main one. I've got some tablets for that now, but I was basically a zombie for a week or so.

Yeah, like Bleep, my SEs were mostly fun, or maybe I just choose to remember them that way, not sure. Really enjoying the company of strangers was a good one, as was being all loved up on bac and very, very horny. And I got the twitches as well and, once I realised what they were, I found them rather fun.

Havefaith, it's not guaranteed you will get any bad SEs; some people just don't. LadyLush for example.

Oh yeah that reminds me, sleep disruption was (is) a bit of a nightmare. Falling asleep whilst doing absolutely anything (and I mean anything :blush and not being able to sleep for more than 4 hours per night. Not good.

This one turned out pretty funny:
I had vivid dreams and couldn't always tell what I dreamed vs what actually happened. (Which sucked. I don't recommend that one. Guard your sleep.)
Anyway, I had a vivid pm exchange with someone on here in my dreams. But I thought it was real. To the extent that I got up and responded. Several times. And grew more hurt and confused as the day went on until I realized that what I was responding to never happened! weird.

For the record, sometimes the dreams sort of continued into the morning. In retrospect I think my mind wasn't fully waking when my body was, sort of sleep walking... I think that's some of what is going on with some others 'round here on HDB.

The libido thing? I miss that one. And the sex as a result. oy. I hope you get that one. It's distracting, but super-fun.

Definitely the apnea (when I first started), getting dizzy/not seeing straight (when, at the time having a few drinks while taking), but, the craziest?? Two nights in a row, dreaming about hanging with the Kardashian family. I know most of you aren't American so won't get it. But that's pretty crazy - and scary.

Oh and like some have mentioned, the libido thing. Unfortunately that was just at the beginning and didn't last for long.
