An interesting situation has come up, and presented me with a tough choice. Now, I'm in the middle of nowhere at the moment, and our plane only flies in to get us on Thursday; I've already made my choice, and obviously it has turned out ok or I wouldn't be here writing about it, but here it is (I'm probably not going to be online until at least Friday): What would you have done?
You are in the middle of nowhere, with no access to extra baclofen. Getting back to civilisation is only an option in the most extreme of circumstances, which I don't think this is. Being a conscientious and careful chap, you have bought 2 separate bottles of baclofen with you, in case one breaks, of the liquid variety. One bottle is nearly finished, the other unopened, mixed from your own supply of baclofen powder. Anyway, when you land, you notice that the nearly-finished bottle has leaked a little. Big deal, and you think nothing of it. However, when you take your next dose of 150 that morning, it absolutely knocks the shit out of you. Obviously, the liquid has leaked out, but not any baclofen, dramatically increasing the concentration, and anyway, that bottle is now nearly finished after leaking. No problem, you switch to other bottle. As you pull the baclofen in to the syringe, you notice small black mold-like things in the solution. Closer examination reveals the bottle to be swirling in them. They have either gotten into the powder, which was then mixed, or have grown in the solution. On the plus side, they don't appear to move, other than when you shake the bottle.
So your choices are, either go back to the nearly finished bottle, and take less, but now you are on an unknown dose of baclofen, on an important business trip, where people are drinking daily. You also don't want to take so little that you go into withdrawal, however there is no way of knowing what dose you are taking, except if you take too much and get SE's. Twitching and looking stoned are also not desirable outcomes in the crowd you are in! Or, do you go to door #2, the mouldy baclofen, which you are confident is at the required concentration?
As I said, I probably will be only able to check back here on Friday. I'm just curious what people would have done?
