Hi guys,
I've recently picked up some Baclofen (not prescribed), because I was told as a muscle relaxant it would, not surprisingly, chill me out.
I've also for around 2 years used various benzodiazepines at least once a week, and rarely two or three times a week. It started out as a recreational thing, because I noticed an improved mood, as well as helping speed up time during working hours. Over time, I began using them (again, unprescribed) to deal with some anxiety I've developed.
So I wasn't expecting much out of the baclofens, and definitely nothing in the way of a mental chill, but I find that baclofen actually makes me feel really great mentally. I feel like I'm normal on them.
My question is, is it easy to develop a tolerance to baclofen, and if so, does the tolerance take forever to go down?
I understand that baclofen has some action on GABAB receptors, as opposed to benzos which if I'm not mistaken work on GABAA receptors. So I'd assume they might have some similarities. I mention benzos because I've definitely noticed a tolerance build up, even though I thought once a week would be enough to prevent that.
Some additional information is, I've picked up my baclofen use since about a month ago. I use around 100mg a day. Dosed at 40mg, then another 40mg a few hours later then the final 20mg just as a booster a few hours after that. Nothing scientific, just my own experimentation on how to achieve the results I want. I've been using this dose at least one to two times a week since then. Only once in combination with 2mg clonazepam.
Thanks guys.
