    Baclofen not needed

    Hey..

    I've been using Bac for going on nearly 4 months now and its time to give up. I've gave it my best shot but I just have had to start tapering down. I got to 120mg about 1 month ago but to be honest I started having serious problems from 80mg up. My SEs have been psychological to th extreme. I've felt like I've been dissociated from about 80mg. It took me about 4 months to get to 120ish but to be honest I've known its not been happening. I've felt like I've been losing my mind sort of.

    I really feel bad that I can't push on. I feel jealousy that you guys have got there but shit happens I suppose.

    Anyway... to the point... I've 6 boxes of Bac I don't need. I really went for this to the extreme like told, and put away a serious amount. I've tapered right off and have 6 boxes of Aliud Pharma pills left I'm not gonna be using.

    100x25mg per box... so 15000mg might be a good stash to get some one started. I'd like to make some money as I spent a s**t load on all these and want to start back on TSM. I'm not exactly rolling in cash atm

    I'm UK based so it would be easier to post to UK/Europe but I'm easy.

    Mods please contact if this is inappropriate but PM iif interested.

    were you drinking on 80mg up? i found the SE nearly unbearable on 100mg up when i was drinking and taking baclofen. However once i went AF it was much more bearable.

    just never give up, whatever path you choose

      Just the odd beer neo, never more than 2-3 light beer. It bacically stopped my drinking.

      I can hack most drugs but in Bac I found my match. I couldn't leave the house. Paranoia, anxiety, really really bad intrusive thoughts... basically borderline psychosis. There was no way I could go on mate.

          I'm sure theres loads who can't hack it, they just probably don't bother ever posting. I had an eye opener when I scanned a few of the MS forums and seen how some had serious problems with low enough doses.

          I just pissed as it did stop my cravings but at great price. I'm hoping to be off in a month and hope the SEs don't linger indefinitely.

            I posted this on another thread, not sure where it is meant to go. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Compared to others I am on a very low dose, between 5 and 10 mgs 3 times a day. But it is really knocking me

            Baclofen Major problems

            Having been a marathon runner and PE teacher I got Chronic Fatigue Syndrome after running a marathon some time after a severe case of glandular fever. Tried a lot of medications for CFS,none worked. Alcohol was the only thing that dampened the CFS. Then that became a big problem. Have been on Baclofen now for5 weeks, no drinking but diastrous SEs....Huge side effects : Extreme fatigue can barely function at all. Muscles aching and weak.
            Short term memory and ability to concentrate virtually non existent, confusion…. dreadful. Very worrying, especially if permanent
            Vision blurred, eyes burning and itchy
            Persistent cough, leading to dry retching and vomiting. Nausea
            Severe sleep disturbance, insomnia
            Night sweats and chills
            Anxiety and depression,zonked out
            Ongoing sneezing and a runny nose Other symptoms that have arisen since increased Baclofen dose increased from 5mg to 10mg/3 times a day
            Dissociative type of symptoms that I never had prior to Baclofen
            Feeling disconnected from self
            Problems with handling intense emotions
            Sudden and unexpected shifts in mood – for example, feeling very sad
            Depression and anxiety problems.


            Dont know what to do.

              Its not for everyone sadly Jaxon. I had a horrible time. Was confined to my room at 100mg. I had anxiety like you wouldn't believe. I started to watch some of those videos on UTube about people having a hard time coming off benzos and my experience on Baclofen was very similar. The paranoia and intrusive thoughts at one point had me in a real bad mess.

              It took me forever to get there and its taken me for ever to get down again. I jumped yesterday from 12.5mg and don't fell too bad I'm over the moon and hope I'm out of the wood regarding lingering SEs but only time will tell.

              I'm gonna play it by ear the next few months and if my drinking gets out of control again I know TSM is there as a backup as I had success with that before.

              By the way the Baclfen I had are gone. I very nice lady bought them for SAD (horses for courses eh) and she said they'd last here a few years at least
