Thought I would start a new thread to get some thoughts from you all on finishing off my taper down of Baclofen. The other thread sort of went in a million different directions. I am at 60mg per day and have been at this level for about a month now and I'm feeling fine. I began with Baclofen in May 2010 and went up as high as 300 mg per day but wasn't even really drinking when I started bac so I can't be sure that it really did THAT much for me. I'm ready to continue going down to zero. This is mostly just an experiment as I have been AF for a very long time... I don't know exactly how long as I don't count days or any of that stuff but I know I've not been drunk since September 2010 (I was on about 100mg of baclofen at this time and I do think bac changed how the alcohol felt in my system... less pleasurable). Since then I've only had a couple beers on a few occasions and zero alcohol since probably January 2011. I think I'm really just over it. Reading a book that was suggested here by someone (your name escapes me at the moment, I apologize) called "Kick the drink" by Jason Vale really solidified my stance on alcohol and I just don't want it in my life.
So, with that being said, How should I continue? Cut out 10mg's per day each week? 5mgs per day? I know I need to go slowly from here on out. Getting down this far was a relative breeze but there were a few days where I dropped it down to 30mgs or so and felt some pretty bad sides (anxiety, insomnia, grinding my teeth).
Any and all ideas are appreciated!!
