I had my switch around 250mg

You can see my Baclofen stats here : http://www.baclofen-forum.com/stats/craving/

I am now at 110mg.

My suggestion : Stick with the original dose suggestion. Start with 5mg x 3 times a day - then after 3 days increase by 5mg x 3 times a day - each few days.

day 1 : 3x5
day 2 : 3x5
day 3 : 3x5
day 4 : 3x10
day 5 : 3x10
day 6 : 3x10
day 7 : 3x15
day 8 : 3x15
day 9 : 3x15
day 10 : 3x20

and so on.

With this dose guide in about 2-4 weeks you will start to see first results in drinking less - and then suddenly you will stop drinking on your own - without force needed.
Check out the mywayout forum - it got a lot more information relating Baclofen!

Good luck!

Corkit - what's the latest news w/ you & your husband? What week/dose are you on w/ the BAC? I am Day 3 w/ 30 mgs and so far so good. Only get really sleepy late at night, like now...otherwise, no real changes so far. Hope to hear your progress!

My regime has been to take 5mg only for the first 4 days and then up to 10mg on days 4-7. Week 2 take 30mg each day split 3 times a day for the whole week. Week 3 up 20mg for a total of 50mg each day split 3 times a day for a whole week. We are now on week 4 taking 70mg and every week thereafter upping 20mg more. We've had no SE so far other than late at night getting sleepy and having a good nights sleep. Talking to the Doctor the slower you go up the better you will handle the SE and a lower dosage will be needed to hit the switch.

All of you who are doing BAC please go slow! We didn't get hooked on AL overnight and we won't be free from it overnight.
