I ordered my first supply of Baclofen ( pacifen from In House Pharmacy) on the 11th January 2013. After reading into Baclofen and following your excellent threads I new the indifreance is what I need to control my alchol habit. By the way my drinking is the the most destructive and unpleasent kind, akin to many others. My Bac arrived 8 days later, I was no longer living with my wife due to an drunken outburst in the family home. Anyway when the bac arrived I think my wife could see I had been struggling with my self for a while, but unsaid she knew that I was prepared to do anything I could and I hadnt gave up like I had given the impresion of, there was hope.
I took my first baclofen 10mg on the 21st January without any one knowing and sat down to talk to my wife and explain my intension, boy am I a lucky man to have such and understanding and loving missis, go on girl.
About an hour later I felt my thoughts slowing down and the tightness in my shoulders slighty easing, I hoped this was the Baclofen. The next day I took 2 10mg doses. First at 8am and the second at 8pm, I didnt want any alcahol. I understand that this will also will be due to the effert I know I need to put in with my spouse and also AA techniques I have learned, but searching my thoughts I could feel something was diffrent.
For the next two day I continued this doses and then included a 10mg dose at 12 in the morning so 30mg a day. I was noticing little indicaters like that snap to vision for off licence signs was still there but it didnt lead to the thoughts of drinking " I had other things to do". Walking past a couple of cases of beer at an empty resurant I was working at. Again that trained reaction to notice that it was there but not the thought that led to the drinking of both cases.. So to sumerise I think Baclofen definitly helps with the alchaol withdrawn symptoms as I have actualy felt quite good in myself. Now 9 days alcahol free
Yesterday 26th Jan 13 I icluded a 4pm dose of 10mg. This making the daily dose 40mg.
I intend to stay at this dose for the next 5 days to balance thigs out as I dont want to rush
things. O The only side effect I am feeling is the tiredness, feels like my head is rolling of my shoulders, quite funny though, or a least my wife thinks it is, wicked sence of humour.
I intend on increasing weekly by 10mg until I reach 50mg or the SE start to kick in. Then I will be more subtle with the dodes using 5mg increases over five days if necesary and tring to find some where comefortable. I have read in the Oxford Journal and other idicaters where 50mg is a leval that will comfortably allow absinace.
When Im comfortable with 50mg and made plans and aragements regarding supply and work I will push forward to find my swith dose, I dont beleave it will be to high as I am quite sensative to medications and drugs etc..
I am gaing a lot of information regarding Baclofen treatment and feel quite comfortable but still have my concearns. I have writen this and included as much information as I can so please if any one has any advice on the methos I plan please jump in as it will be more than appriciated and in return I hope this helps for any one reading.
Kind Regards...HeavenlyD
