Brunn and Isolde are nutrition types. I bet they'll chime in soon.

I'm much better off tummy-wise when I have some kind of long-burning carb in my system, like pasta or rice. I know that the vitamin supplement All-One is big on this site. Be warned though that it tastes really nasty. I don't know about protein either since I'm an incurable carnivore.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be worth your time to have your stomach checked out just to be sure that it's not something else. A minor infection or something? Bruun is more experienced with stomach issues. I'll make sure that she sees this thread.

Yes, it is a matter of seeing what fits.

Hi Ne,
have started bumping up my dose by extra 20mgs per day,now taking 10mgs every 2 hours,feeling a bit odd,sorta out of it.Have spent a few hours reading threads,unbelievable,seems Baclofen has several side effects,gets everyone different ways,wild stuff.
I suppose when I first came upon Baclofen I jumped straight in started taking 20mgs then over 3month period up to 60mgs,after a year Im on 80mgs,moving towards 100mgs.I was fine for first 6months,now starting to experience side effects,mostly in me stomach.Its kinda funny but since upping my dose Ive started fantazing about using alcahol again,could I just get gone at weekends and not feel need to use every night,it always made such logical sense to me,getting high,"if something makes you feel good,why not do it all the time"social drinkers are just kidding themselves.Often looked at my brothers drinking and just couldnt understand why they didnt want to drink all the time.
Some of the posts are amazing,especially Loop,his ability to excersie,which is something close to my heart,Ive been using Bac to abstain from alcahol and also bring me out of this prison of isolation,if Im being honest I just dont want to go to gigs,holidays etc if I cant drink,makes every experience a WHOLE lot more enjoyable.God Im so fantazing about getting high,just get out there and howl at the moon.
The way Baclofen works for me is it prevents me from nose diving to a real low place,self hatred,paranoia etc,all the wrong triggers for drinking,seem uneffected by what used to really get me down,but like all true addicts once things calm down i start thinking,hmmm I wonder how would I feel if i did use,one word comes immediately to the foe DEFEAT,after the pain and effort of 6 years dry.
Its simple I just want to engage in ordinary life,relationships etc,instead of being stuck to floor by fear,reason I drank in first place,
Boy what a bleedin ramble,but its cool to put thoughts out there.

Hiya, Walnut.
Thanks so much for putting that post out there. Sorry it's taken me so dang long to respond.
First off, how's yer belly?

A lot of what you wrote resonates. I had no idea what to expect when I started bac, and sure as hell didn't give it a year to sink in and do it's thing. I'm glad it's done, but there are easier ways. One of which surely is taking some time. (I suppose I was really compelled because I could feel life slipping deeper into the bottle, and I've been there one time too many!)

As to the fear and the other deep dark places...I get that. For me it all seems to really start and end with fear. I hear that resonated in the meditation stuff I'm learning, too.

A complete aside: I used to obsessively check my husband's breathing when he was sleeping. I'd wake in the middle of the night and think he was dead. (This is related to the fact that I know someone who died very suddenly, blah, blah.) Bottom line was that it was just irrational fear. Now I can tell if something is going on with me, something bad and often related to the fact that I have forgotten a dose, or decided to go down too much with the bac, when I have that middle of the night impulse. It's become a joke of sorts now. Except it's not so funny in the moment when I wake and think he's not breathing! ya' know?

So how are you? Where are you with the bac? I hope you didn't mean that you were going up by 20mg/day?

(There's gotta be a better way to howl at the moon, doesn't there? Like maybe literally howling at the moon. Something. I dunno. I'm going to a halloween party, one where I've embarrassed myself so much in the past that I stopped going years ago. Maybe I'll figure out something to do then, when I'm in costume and can "hide" behind that instead of the bottle...)
