Hey guys

After a massive struggle with SEs I've made my way up to 75mg. I actually stopped Baclofen about a month because of severe SEs and since have been on the bender of all benders.

Drinking about 30UK units/17 US. My only saving grace is that after 3-4 days I just can't even look at an other drink. My body just feels like shutting down. I just can't get my head around drinking evry day but maybe they're a few steps ahead of me. This odd day I'll take a few Diazepam to help with anxiety which does help. My stomach is totally raw. My sis (nurse) is gonna give me a LFT tomorow as I could probably give my self a better IV than my GPs.

I would love to get up to around 125mg. From vague memory this dose had me sort of under control with maybe a few beers per night but never drunk. I very very doubt I'll ever get to the big doses some posters talk about. They would have me in a psyche ward for sure and I have taken baby steps the whole way.

Jesus... Yesterday was hard going. Today isn't as bad but I fear how things might turn out again once the I forget about how bad this had been. (Sure you all know what I mean.)

I've even thought about AA but the whole serenity thing freaks me out. I'm all for having a good yarn and sharing stories but the steps things is a no no tbh.

Hey tronic,

I'm sorry the SEs have been so rough for you. If you got sort of under control at 125 mgs that sounds like a good goal. Maybe when you get there you can join the folks on the AF Challenge and see if changing your drinking habit may be all you need for the switch. Whatever you do I wish you the best.

Hey guys

ive been on 125mg for about 20 days now, after 75mg the SE got terrible, the bac seemed to amplify the hangover symptoms to be much worse, particularly the anxiety the morning after drinking. Each time i went up it got worse. So i was encouraged by a few people on here to go AF, since then the side effects are much more manageable, i dont crave too often, but i do get some bad days, anxiety, depression and sleepyness during the day

maybe try again and go AF at 125 as Kron suggested, it makes the SE from the bac much more manageable.
