Sexual Side Effects of Baclofen

After reading your post I decided to experiment with Tyrosine again yesterday. Oddly, I didn't seem to get tired like I did when I tried it before. I have no idea what that is all about. :scratchinhead:

How much B3 do you take, Mary? Enough to get the Niacin Flush?

Good luck finding the right balance with your baclofen dose.

Sexual Side Effects of Baclofen

I haven't posted in this thread before. (never really had the chance of late) But I've noticed its becoming very hard to, how should I put it.. finish?

Sexual feelings are as high as ever especially with the warm weather now here (is that just me?) but when it comes to the business end of things its like... once I get going I know where its heading and its usually not well. After taking quite some time to find this out I've became a bit of a flustered mess.

My mind starts to wonder after a while and its hard to keep focused on the job in hand which can lead to frustration and I never thought I'd say thing but a touch of boredom

Also.. when I do finish (if). Its not much to write home about. This isn't just me. I've been told this. It just seems like a bit of a chore.

Frustration is the word best to describe how I feel.

Bad news: I've been on Baclofen for over two years and it still retards my ejaculations to a certain extent.

Good news: If you drop down a couple of levels you will probably find the problem reduces greatly. At least it does in my case.

Also my experience. It's a dodgy game reducing baclofen until the sexual plus just balances the danger of a relapse.

So dopamine is the issue?

This explains why the "thrill is gone" on so many levels.

As I titrated up, sex was grrreat. Now, meh.... Drinking is boring. I have to shove my ass out the door to exercise. Laughing is a side effect now.

I guess Bac reduces the adrenaline junkie in all of us. :upset:

I've been taking bac for so long that I don't really remember the details of SE's re sex, pleasure, laughing . . . are these our dopamine supported experiences? There was a period of many months when sex was quite enjoyable, but climax, as I had identified it, was too much work. But now, almost 4.5 years along, I find myself finding ways to enjoy and laugh most of the way through some majorly f**cked up situations. And even though my fiercer and honest response when someone asks me how I am is:"I'm crazy as a loon," it doesn't feel bad.

I am hoping that this is encouragement that long-term baclofen does not necessarily mean long-term diminish meant of pleasure and enjoyment, of all kinds. It MAY require tinkering under the hood and changing the way we think about some things??

Has anyone experimented with the tyrosine, and/or phenylalanine / DLPA solution? What amounts must be taken, and in conjunction/at the same time with B3?

Was at GNC today. Wrote down tyrosine wrong, looked for tyroline (unsuccessful, lol.) Did find L-tyrosine. DLPA required special order, will take a week.

Can one take both?

Honestly, I get why this topic keeps coming up. I’m a guy and I’ve been on baclofen for a while too, and I’ve had my share of ups and downs with sexual side effects - nothing extreme, but definitely enough to make me question whether it was the medication, stress, or just a temporary phase. Baclofen really can affect libido and performance in either direction, so noticing changes doesn’t automatically mean something is “wrong,” just that your body is adjusting.

My advice is to keep track of the patterns - when the side effects show up, changes in dose, stress levels, sleep, all of that. For many people, things balance out once the body settles into a steady dose, and if it gets bothersome, talking to a doctor can help you adjust without losing the benefits of the medication. Most importantly, don’t panic and don’t assume the worst, these fluctuations are a lot more common than people think.
