Feeling sick...

I've just been reading about Baclofen side effects and think it's best I get off them especially since I seem to have every side effect.  I was taking the baclofen before I quit 10 days ago so it's been about 3 weeks on it. 

I don't want to drink again.  But, have the naltrexone on stand by should I relapse.

Do you think by now I'm detoxed enough to try the Campral?  

It's the holiday weekend here and I won't be able to get any until Tuesday.  

If you haven't had any alcohol for ten days, Campral will work, but it takes at least a week to kick in. Campral won't make you ill or have side effects if you drink, it just won't work. That would be like having a diet cola (or Coke Light, whatever they call it in the States) and then eating a six pack of doughnuts (or donuts), it would be pointless.

If you can get it and keep off the booze until after the weekend, then go for it.

Love the example, lol.  Thank you.

I don't much about Campral.  Is there a certain dosage I should be starting with?  Thank you RHGB.  I really wanted to confirm the side effects of baclofen and haven't read too much online or here about it's continuous positive usage.  Just seems to be more temporary.

You may want to keep the answer to yourself. If you are 60kgs or under, then four tablets a day, two morning, one noon, one evening.

From memory, 60kgs is about 9.5 stone. If you are over 60kgs, then six tablets a day, two, two and two.

The dosage remains the same whilst you are taking it.

After reverting lbs to kgs I think I'm 68 kgs as I'm about 150 lbs.  

Thank you for the info.  I will be calling my family doctor on Tuesday.  

I really want to remain abstinent as I've gotten this far.  I've realized the side effects to baclofen are not worth it.  I actually feel like drinking to take away those symptoms.  Part of me is glad I have to be at work soon, part would like to sleep all night, and the rest of me would like a drink.  Hoping the effects of the baclofen wear off soon.

Thank you!!!!!

hi Kelly. Great effort and you are brilliant for trying to so hard. Never easy for certain. Cannot add much since I never took any medicine when I stopped and others make better replies than me. Mine is still: YOU CAN DO IT AND WELL DONE!! Robin

Thank you!  

I'm just worried about withdrawals from stopping baclofen. I've read horror stories.  I shouldn't google!   I've only been taking it for 3 weeks and don't know how much lower I can go.

It's good you made it without medication.  Time will tell.

Thanks for the words of confidence!  

I was nauseas too!

Hang in there Kelly, sounds like Campral might be the ticket for you! 

Thanks! I agree!

Yes the doseage for over 60kg is correct. 2x 333mg 3 times a day.

I should know, I've been taking it for the last four months.

Anyway, good luck with it, I think you've just started on it, I can say that whilst it may not work for everyone, it has for me.

Yes today is day 3 on Campral and day 11 AF.

It was your posts that encouraged me to push for the Campral, thank you.

Thank you, that means a lot to me. Obviously, if you've been reading my posts, you'll know you've got a few days to go before feeling the positive effect, but at least there are no side effects.
