I've been on Baclofen for about 2 1/2 years now. At first I went AF for four months and then would drink when out at dinner with friends (moderate amounts). Overall my drinking is way (WAY) better than it was before baclofen and I am lucky enough to have a doctor here in Malta that prescribes me a reasonable dose (which I supplement myself from online purchases).
About a year ago I developed major back pain issues (real agony, completely debilitating), when I cut back on the baclofen on doctors orders the pain subsided (I was taking 140mg a day then in two doses of 70 at time).
Then I went down to 50 gradually until the pain subsided and the drinking crept back into my life. I can feel the booze in my system even on the bac and whilst the effects are not what they were without bac they are not unpleasant. It wasnt long after that my Bac useage became intermittent, I would take 100 one day, 70 the next, 150 the next... I wasnt thinking about the Bac and only when I looked back on my behaviour did it occur to me what I was doing.
So, now here we are. I am taking 100mg a day (two lots of 50) and am still drinking, about three bottles of wine a week, and I'd like to go AF again.
So....has anyone got any experience of resetting their bac useage to attempt to get back to a maintenance dose that works. Of course I have to play my part as well and say No more often, I've been relying on bac to do all the work to moderate my alcohol use and I need to help out as well.
So if anyone has any words of advice I'd be very grateful, thanks in advance for your time.
