I posted in any earlier thread that I had a meeting with Dr Chick and he prescribed me baclofen.
Tomorrow is 14 days on bac and I know it's very early days but I want this to work so much.
Dr Chick put me on a very low dose 30 mg per day which I had to build up to over 7 days. Noticed great things in the first week, low anxiety, great nights sleep, only side affect really was feeling a bit spaced out. Drink wise, in the first week I was able to just have a couple of the one glass bottles of wine and not crave more (which would be what would usually happen).
However, this weekend has been different. It started on Friday with a funeral and I fully intended to have some wine afterwards at the wake. I drank very slowly but over a 4-5 hour period drank around 4 glasses of wine (large glasses). On the Saturday we were invited to the house of friends that are big drinkers and this is where it all went to pot.
I knew I would go off the deep end and took 20 mg of bac before I went. I did drink slower but we were there all night and totally ended up binge drinking just like before.
Also had a drink on the Sunday!!
I have to email Dr Chick tomorrow and I feel a total failure and what if he thinks I'm not even trying!!
I know it is early days and I hope he advises me to increase the amount.
I'm now not really getting the spaced out feeling with the 30 mg so I am building up a tolerance.
What I'm trying to get to (the point) is this - I'm only 2 weeks in, am I expecting too much too soon??
Any help and advice much appreciated
