I don't believe in chasing pills either which is why I liked TSM so much.

Don't get me wrong, 15-20 years ago I believed in meds (and drugs). Part of my recovery has been wanting to feel like me.

Sooo, I've been trying 10mg baclofen at night to help with sleep and anxiety.

Has it worked?

I'm not aware of anything when I take it in the evening which can be several hours before sleep. It has provided me with a dead sleep which seems a relief from getting up several times in the night to use the bathroom. I am however rolling over after the alarm and finding it difficult to get up after that.

I've not noticed a difference in my mood, or in the overeating binges.

I have had a lot of things on my plate which is sort of usual for me, but also some quite stressful situations to deal with.

I'm going to stop taking it and only use it every once in a while if I fancy a dead sleep!

UKB - I know I owe you a PM and will hopefully get to that this afternoon - but anyway - I am sorry that things are not going so well for you right now. I am not sure that the Bac is worth taking - if you are only taking it for sleep ? I too have a problem with sleeping and have found that Gaba works for me - but do not want to get addicted to that - so I try and go at least a night or two without it - usually do not sleep well those nights - so I know what you mean when you say that you save it for when you want a good sleep!

I feel for you re the stressful situations - right now I can say 'join the club' .... hang in there and hopefully things will calm down for you,

hugs, Maggie x
