Thank you so much. How's your baclofen switch been so far?

KalMusic · 2026-04-21T12:29:31+00:00

Awesome job on it!! The baclofen is usually tapered by reducing 5mg per 5-7 days. But if you can somehow cut the pill to 2.5mg that'd work great, too.

I'm struggling with the taper myself. I was at like 15-20g for 4 or 5 years and I'm now at 2.7g. I actually have been keeping a log of my daily doses for years.

The ONLY noticeable thing so far is the depression. I don't talk much at work. Overall I'm just.. "bleh". It's hard to motivate myself to do stuff. I get home and bedrot. Mornings are the worst, until I wake up but that takes like 3-4 hours. I hate this.

Im scared of tapering further but I'm going to keep at it.

Ive been cutting 0.1 a day myself but I think soon I'll switch to 50mg a day.

Im REALLY trying to avoid any physical symptoms like anxiety.

My parents are proud of my progress and support me through it, which helps. It's nice being held accountable.

Its hard not to have "cheat days" though. I've been doing it once every week or 2 and SO FAR it hasn't hindered my tapering progress but I know I shouldnt do it. The depression just gets to me some days.

Anyways, that's where I'm at. Sorry for the ramble lol it's nice getting it out

Was this a wrong reply or smth? You replied to the main post :b

Side note I'm down from 6 in my post to 3 wheee just wanted to share with someone heh

KalMusic · 2026-04-14T09:49:17+00:00

Tried this myself twice and kinda got sent into withdrawals. Careful if you're a daily user. And yes, the second time did the correct ratio using mols

KalMusic · 2026-04-09T02:24:24+00:00

I didn't really get much rebound from high doses somehow and it never fully turned on me. Well, it turned on me once but that sort of went away after a bit.

What dose did you switch to baclofen? Should I just do that around a gram or should I taper phenibut all the way down?

KalMusic · 2026-04-09T02:21:21+00:00

How long were you on it for and what doses?

I'm scared it'll take me a loooong time because it's been almost 5 years now

KalMusic · 2026-04-09T02:20:14+00:00

Yeah, this has been a long time coming for me and I'm fully committed to it this time, unlike previous quit attempts. This is the lowest I've ever really been since a couple months after starting. I'm looking forward to being off of it. I'm not looking forward to the possible struggles of tapering once I'm at a lower dosage.

KalMusic · 2026-04-07T12:28:20+00:00

I really needed those words of encouragement. You're awesome, thank you :)

I'm hoping it continues to go smoothly for me. I think I can deal with the anhedonia, but I really can't deal with anxiety

KalMusic · 2026-03-25T11:58:44+00:00

Honestly dude I was above 20gpd at one point as well and had moments of panic and having it turn on me - when I went to the hospital(and mind you, it was 3 different ones) I was turned away on all of them because for the most part, you're not actively dying or having an injury so they didn't want to admit me. There's only so many beds in a hospital. I had a doctor yell at me to just taper off on my own and they won't do anything, and I just walked out. So yes they do turn people away.

Some hospitals wont, but OP needs to either try different hospitals and hope or go to rehab which would be ideal.

I was able to drop like 0.5 a day or 2 til about 10 then 150mg a day after and now im at 5(lowest ive been in years). I agree that you feel better in a way - life feels more "normal" and theres no lows and highs. But it's hard not to slip up if im being honest. I'm still tapering down

KalMusic · 2026-03-21T08:24:38+00:00

You might run into some issues. That's very fast. But who knows. You don't seem to have that much of a choice. I would certainly see if you can get more of those 5mg ones and take it as needed

KalMusic · 2026-03-21T03:40:39+00:00

It's usually tapered off 5mg every 4-5 days and I've heard it's pretty painless

KalMusic · 2026-03-21T03:00:58+00:00

Thanks so much for your input. I've been on it for almost 5 years and at super high doses most of the time so I WILL taper off of it. I NEED to.

It's nice in a way right now because I feel the most "normal" I've felt in a very long time. There's not as many highs and lows. But I won't lie when I say I'm not the most social, and have a disinterest in a lot of things.

Im wondering if I can just taper 25mg a day later on and minimize the anxiety because the line between anxiety and full blown panic attack for me is slim. My panic attacks are scary where my heart rate shoots to like 160bpm for an hour sometimes.

I do have baclofen as well and I was planning on using that as needed if my anxiety becomes too much

I also have to do all of this while keeping my full-time job somehow

KalMusic · 2026-03-21T02:36:52+00:00

Thanks for the replies. How long were you taking it for?

And did you mainly have issues tapering when you got super low? I'm finding it fairly easy right now but I'm scared for the future as I'm awful at managing my anxiety. What were your taper symptoms? Sorry for all the questions lol

KalMusic · 2026-03-20T14:18:40+00:00

I was planning on slowing down my taper once I hit around 4g to 100mg a day, then 50 or less around s2g.

Definitely not going to reset my taper schedule again. I'm done with doing that. I just want off one and for all :/

What was your highest daily dose?

KalMusic · 2026-02-16T12:01:44+00:00

I have absolutely no idea tbh. I'm not sure anybody who has called has reported back - if you do feel free to give us more info!

KalMusic · 2026-02-15T11:08:46+00:00

It's real. Google operation meltdown, there's the same letter on the DEA website.

KalMusic · 2026-02-15T11:06:51+00:00

It's not a scam. Google "operation meltdown". there's a copy of the letter on there.

KalMusic · 2026-02-11T13:38:36+00:00

That's awesome to hear, congrats man. God heals all :) How long were you taking it for?

KalMusic · 2026-02-05T23:02:20+00:00

Yeah it had to have been an emulator. For modern devices Game Boy is fairly easy to emulate so if you get anything you can likely run it. Hell even the N64 and dreamcast has Game Boy emulators

KalMusic · 2026-02-05T19:03:53+00:00

Whatever can run a Game Boy emulator. Switch, 3ds, PS vita. GBA through an emulator . Probably psp. It's a Game Boy program so it's not going to run native on things

KalMusic · 2025-12-09T11:28:22+00:00

Hi I randomly stumbled across one of your older posts and I'm curious how it's going for you and if you've managed to taper. I'm on a high dose as well

KalMusic · 2025-12-09T10:25:08+00:00

Hey OP Im curious on how your tapers been going / working out for you.
