Baclofen Dosage 'Poll'

[Virgil]

Hi Folks,

I tried to set up a poll elsewhere on this forum but I was unsuccessful, so this is (hopefully) an alternative. Simply indicate in your reply at which one of the baclofen dosage ranges below you experienced the 'switch' for alcohol reduction:

Less than 30 mg per day
30 - 50 mg per day
60 - 80 mg per day
90 - 110 mg per day
120 - 140 mg per day
150 - 170 mg per day
180 - 200 mg per day
210 - 230 mg per day
240 - 260 mg per day
270 mg or more per day
Gender:
Weight:
Maintenance Dose:
Drinking History:

Probably the easiest way to indicate your choice is to copy and paste the whole list - then highlight your dosage range in bold, e.g. 60 - 80 mg per day. In response to requests below, please also indicate gender (M or F) and weight (kg or lb). On a separate thread, tm1210 feels it would be useful to know what maintenance dose you're on and for how long have you been on it? tm1210 has also suggested the introduction of another factor - alcohol abuse level prior to starting on baclofen; this has been added above as 'Drinking History'. Factors to include here are:

[1] How many units consumed per week? Please indicate whether these are USA, UK or other units.
[2] For how long (months/years) have you been consuming the figure in [1] above?
[3] Are you a binge or daily drinker?


Hope this works!

V.

P.S. please let me know if you think I've made any mistakes in the dosage list above.

Hi muchthought,

Well, we're off to a good start but I do hope a lot of people respond. Then, we'll have a statistically-significant sample from which we can form useful deductions. When we've got, say, another fifteen results, I hope to produce a bar-chart showing the dosage distribution. But, I'm hoping for a lot more than a further fifteen results. I would like to think this information would be valuable to anyone starting out on baclofen. Only time will tell.
