Anyone else drowsy on bac??
Im only on 10 mg three times a day, and 20mg 3 times a day from tomorrow. But im becoming quite tired. Thats the only SE so far but with me only being on such a low dosage compared to some people that have posted, is this normal? In all truth as I usually have trouble sleeping Im not complaining too much, so i take my last dose quite late at night and usually get 6 hours or so kip!?It's just a ride.?

Robbie,
Yes, sleepiness is one of the side effects. We have all experienced it. I still do. If you search through the Bac threads on the Meds Forum, I know there is a thread that was started on the side effects of Bac and lots of good information there. I am working right now otherwise I would search and find the particular post for you.

It's not uncommon to be tired. However, I find that if I get a good nights sleep the side effects are much less. The problem with that is that if I take too much (currently at about 160mg/day) I have trouble sleeping. Some nights I may get 2-3 hours of sleep, and that sucks. Also, when I don't sleep, the next day I am REALLY tired during the day.
The answer, for me, is to really watch your dosage. The bac works, so don't give up. I try to limit my dosage during the day, and then increase at night. Everybody's different...:welcome:

Completely normal. Different dose levels will hit people differently. I could barely function at times. Could not sleep at night and would sleep 2-3 hours during the day.
The somnolence was almost unbearable at times.
So normal and even mentioned in Dr A's book but never to the degree I had it. I almost get the feeling he played it down a bit. Could be wrong.
I am actually titrating down now as I have other med issues and I have some concerns.
The SE's are normal and I would be surprised if you don't get some other odd ones. Don't let it deter you.
Good luck.

I'm coming to the end of day 4 on baclofen, taking 30mg daily. I can say that I'm sleeping 12 hours out of 24. I don't mind because I'm on annual leave and also, I enjoy sleeping. I have also noticed very vivid dreams, which I enjoy being a lucid dreamer. So bully for me!?Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town.?
