    Thinking about starting on Bac. How much to stockpile?

    Hey,

    Long time lurker but decided to register as I'm thinking about Baclofen. If I decide to go ahead I'm planning on titrating up as quickly as the SEs will allow. My only worry is for some unforsaken reason, having to titrate down in an emergency from a high dose. I know this is all circumstantial but I'm trying to cover all bases. I'll be doing this without the help of my GP so its internet Baclofen for me which brings me to my question...

    What sort of stockpile do users keep on hand when using Bac when having to buy online? I've seen some users having to go up to 250+ and from basic maths I'd say you'd need a good supply at hand in case of emergency and having to come off it. I'd guess it would take quite a few weeks to come down from a big dose safely enough?

    I'd greatly appreciate any info.

    Thanks.

    Thinking about starting on Bac. How much to stockpile?

    I have prescription bottles filled with months' worth of bac in the medicine cabinet, and I think five boxes of bac I ordered online, which in itself would be maybe three months' worth, in a cupboard in the kitchen, and I'm not even taking bac anymore--but still filling prescription refills.

    Point is, you want a lot. Check the latest post by RedThread12 on the "bac destroyed my life" thread. That's the kind of prep to start thinking about.

    But just baseline, figure you want to be able to taper down 10mg/week from whatever dose you're taking. So work out the math and figure out how many pills that would be. Being paranoid, I'd probably keep double that on hand. And be sure to have a bunch on your person, as well.

    Though Lo0p's lab ships pretty darned quickly, from what I hear, so if you do run low it looks like you can get some liquid in a pinch. Or even to start with, actually...

        Couldn't have asked for a better reply. Thanks very much.

        I don't want to do this half arsed if I decide to so. I was looking into liquid Bac as price wise its hard to beat. I don't think it would be too hard to dose with if you were using a 1ml oral syringe.

        The plan is to titrate up as fast as the SEs will let me. I usually tolerate drugs pretty well. But I know all to well about the dangers of coming off GABA drugs.

        Looks like I better get down to a bit of math. I want to cover all bases and I'd probably be better covering myself for the likely hood I might need to hit up to 300. To come down off of anything around that number in a sensible fashion I'd really need to get a s**t load of Bac piled up.

          Well the supposed general rule for titration is 20mg/week. I think most can get away with it.

          For me going up or down I do about 10mg/4 days. That's just me.

          You really just can't have too much put away. I have a scrip but I have a lot stashed away. So much that I will probably start using it and stock piling my scrip now.

          After that, I will make another buy from a reputable source.

          Honestly, that's the one thing that scares me about baclofen. Just be sure you have plenty.

          Red's post is very good. When I travel overseas, I have my scrip. I have a lot on my carry on. I have more in my packed. Many other countries baclofen is readily available.

          I think if you did have to visit a hospital in WORST case scenario, I am pretty sure they could work with you. Most doctors I think would help you out too. It's not a crazy med.

            If thinks went to plan I'd maybe think about hitting my doctor up for a script if and when I got down to around the 80 mark. Even without one, at a lower dose I wouldn't be as paranoid about having ALOT put away.

            What would worry me is having to sit at a high dose for a longer period of time. Then I'd have to think about stock pilling up.

            I don't really travel a lot (That's a lie I don't travel at all ) So the most I'd have to have on me is probably my midday dose if at work or away from the house.

              When I relied on international sources for baclofen, I had one month's worth of backup in a safety deposit box and ordered more as though it didn't even exist.

                That seems the general consensus. Put what you might need to titrate down to the side.. and build a supple up from there.

                  How did I miss this? Excellent thread and thank you for putting so much effort into the chart tk. I will be putting this together shortly and using the deposit box as Lo0p suggested.
