    Bac questions

    Hi!!

    I know there's a thread out there that explains titration, etc, but I can't find it!!!!

    Also, I was curious if people experience weight gain on Bac.

    I've been here before, and even done the Bac thing before, and am debating it again. It didn't seem to work last time, porbably due to my lack of commitment.

    If anyone could guide me, I'd appreciate it.

    Hey Phin,
    There are threads all over about that. Do a search on it. A ton. I would go through it but I am stretched for time or I would get into it.

    I can't say I gained weight. Some folks lose a lot of weight when they stop drinking. I think it has to do with what you were drinking also.

    1st time I stopped I lost. This time which I am not completely AF but very little I am still about the same.

    I don't recall baclofen being a reason one would gain weight. The whole alcohol mess though affects everyone differently. Again, I would not attribute it to baclofen.

    I think you are good to go. You might want to get Dr A's book the end of my addiction, I believe that's the title. Again multi tasking here.

    This is a good forum overall but watch out for a trouble maker here and there. Not as busy as it once was.

    Give this a shot but be dedicated and have LOTS of baclofen on hand. You'll see why if you read up.

    Good luck!

      Hi, Phin,

      I agree with COSGringo: read all you can on here and get Dr Ameisen's book. The paperback is Heal Thyself. You may have a hard time finding the hard cover.

      I started at 30 mgs and went up by 10 mgs every 4 days. I didn't go high (only to 80 mgs) because of my dr, but that ended up being my switch. I did post Dr Levin's titration schedule on here for someone. You can click on my name and look through my posts to find it.

      I lost 10 lbs after I started bac. Food just didn't appeal to me and I had to make myself eat. I was drinking a bottle of wine a night so I'm sure stopping that helped. Plus I ate lots of snacks when I drank.

      Best of luck to you!

          Start off slow, at 15, split into 3 doses, then add about 20 per week, you should be ok. That's a fairly standard, cautious titration.

          I put on weight, but either way it doesn't matter. What matters is sorting out the drinking.

          Best of luck.
