    Baclofen anxiety update

    Hey all,

    I just wanted to throw the latest and greatest out there. Just had my 2nd appointment with Dr. L and I am speechless about how much this man and this medication are changing my life!

    I am in a good place emotionally and psychologically that I have not been in several years. My anxiety has gone down about 50-60% and I feel more confident everyday that I can tackle the world without needing other narcotics or alcohol to deal with it. Baclofen along with the support of Dr. L has calmed me down so much and I am not such a high strung mess anymore. I know I still have a long road ahead of recovering from the psychological mess inside my head, but I am actually starting to feel like it's possible to do now. I thank god that I found this forum and recieved the support and knowledge from all of you people that is making my life better. :l

    My current dose is 60 mg./day and I am on week #4. I will now start to titrate up a bit higher over the next few weeks, but so far no noticable side effects.

    I actually just got a new job that was difficult to get, and the interview process was intense for someone with anxiety issues to go through. But I was able to handle it well and get the job because baclofen reduced my anxiety enough to do so.

    Boost,

    Couldn't have said it better. Baclofen kicks my anxiety in the @$$ full force. Congratulations on the job!
    I am no longer a wall flower in meetings. I speak with a calm confidence I had never known before Baclofen.
    Thanks for the smile today!

      Bull$hit!! That stuff you are taking might as well be a placebo and Dr. L sux.

                Nice, boosted! 60 mg/day and 60% anxiety reduction...hmm...looks like you've reached 4400 RPM on a b18c1 and have hit stage 1 VTEC

                Once you reach 5600 RPM (at who knows how many mg/day), your life will take off in a way that's even better than stage 2 VTEC. I know that sounds like heresy, but you're gonna have to trust me on this

                  Brenda, you put make up on in honor of Boosted's success, that's sweet and a little flirty of you!

                  Boosted, that's amazing. Congrats!

                    Boosted-

                    Congrats!! I am so happy you are starting to feel what I have just begun to feel...

                    My advice (and unfortunately something I didn't take) is to follow D. L's titration schedule, unless you feel you are going to cause damage on yourself or others. Just my two cents. I have slowed down my titration to +10mg/week.

                    I highly recommend L-Tyrosine to compliment your bac. I am on my second day of it, and I slept through the night for the first time in a month!
                    Hit "the switch" at 190 mg/day on 11/10/11... Thanks to Dr. A, Dr. L, and all that have supported my journey on MWO!!:guitar1:

                      Hi boosted congrats on both the new job and the great success you are having taking bac and improving you life, it sounds amazing that in 4 weeks you have made such massive changes in the way you feel and your life in general, the job. You sound so positive you have passed on hope to me for my own success in recovering from this addiction.
