I plan to take 10 mg a night. Do you think this might contradict with the Selegiline I'm taking (which I'm using to replace the Adderall, which gave me too much anxiety)? |
"The concurrent use of MAO inhibitors and baclofen may result in increased CNS depressant effects. Caution is advised and the dosage of one or both agents should be adjusted accordingly."
In consideration of the aforesaid, check with your doctor about my following observations.... It seems as though it makes more sense to give Baclofen a try without possible conflict with other meds unless it is determined that other meds may offer additional benefits. However, even if a drug combination such as you suggest is determined necessary at some point in time, it seems more logical to try such combination only after your personal trial with baclofen dictates the necessity of same.
Also, it may interest you to know that I have posted a scientific study earlier in the thread about baclofen's successful use as a sleep aid @ 20mg/nightly. Also, coincidentally, if my memory serves my right, 20mg/n is the ideal dose for substantial increase in
GH. Thus, if you don't have success at 10mg/n then 20mg/n might be considered if your doctor agrees. My friend also has insomnia and takes 20mg/n baclofen with success. However, don't expect instant results as his results took effect about 2 weeks after commencement . Also, it may interest you to know that baclofen had no negative effect on his libido at this dose which proves that all people react differently to meds as bac had the complete opposite effect on me. However, he is a type A personality where I am not which is why I tend to believe that both LDN and LDB have their place in anti-aging medicine.
How are you planning on testing your
GH? 24HrU is the best method. If you don't have access to same, I will suggest a fairly reliable method utilizing blood tests to monitor
GH although urine is much cheaper and, IMHO, more accurate. You should see a substantial increase in
GH.
