The End of my ADDICTION ...Baclofen ???

[Evie.Lou]

I am reading the book "The End of My Addiction" by Olivier Ameisen MD...I would love to hear from any of you that have read this book. The man is amazing to me. He searched to find a way to help himself, when other Dr's. wouldn't or couldn't. They saw him as BAD..not SICK.
I was almost in tears when I read that he was trained that "the disease" was the enemy ...not the person who is suffering from the disease.
He found that baclofen worked on so many different levels with alcoholism...Cravings depression etc.This book is so encouraging and I wonder how many have read it and how many have had success with following the baclofen route ??

Have not tried baclofan but I've had great success with Topamax. In fact, I have introduced my doctor to Topa and he is now prescribing it for others with drinking problems along with MWO which I think is fantastic!

Thanks...Rippy, you kissable Llama you...
Cycle,I have been using Topa, myself. In Ameisen's book he speaks of significant side effects of Topa...Blindness being my biggest concern. Many other positive effects (anti depressant ) come with the Baclofen...so he says..and it is cheaper and safer ???
I have odered it from Riverpharmacy and when it comes, I will do a trial for myself...Then my results will be posted.
