WE ARE NOT QUALIFIED DOCTORS......
OK. Look at the following post. Then go and read some of the dangerous advice given. THIS is what i am talking about!
nearly died 2 weeks ago - baclofen was involved. Need adivce
Hi
I've posted here before because I was desperate to stop drinking, and wanted to try Baclofen, which i purchased on the internet and still have.
I never started taking it.
I was on a slow diazepam (valium) withdrawal since December of last year, and somehow found myself in a rock and a hard place, where I'd started drinking spirits staight and then upped my valiums in an attempt to stop drinking.
PMS plays a big factor, not in how I drink, but in my actions if I do. 2 weeks ago I woke up in a London hospital in the Critical Ward. i kept going in and out of consiousness, and I couldnt remember anything of how I'd got there, or at the time even what year it was or where I lived or any of the questions they asked me. I woke up on Thursday at 3pm after where I remember some parts of it like being terified I was going to die., and there was lots of doctors there, and I thought I could hear what they where saying and that it wasnt good. And I remember crying I dont want to die. i was hooked up to all kinds of machines and drips and could not move at all even to go to the toilet (they had a tube there)
I later found out that I was admitted through A&E at 7am on the Tuesday morning. I have no memory of that entire day. According to my flatmate (and ex-boyfriend) I had been drinking and he found a bottle of brandy hidden in the food cuppord. He left it there and by the evening it was gone. I went to the shop and got more. Then by about 10pm I was screaming and he found me in the bathroom with foam coming from my mouth and begging for help. He has seen me like this many times before. He gave me some water and I came around. But then he heard me go to the shop again. I guess I drank another bottle of brandy. I started screaming and shouting and he tried shut me up, which resulted in the police being called and him being asked to leave the flat. After that I guess I drank more. But even worse I think I tried to kill myself while I was drunk. I had 100 baclofen tablets, but when I came back from the hospital there where less that 70 left. One of things they told me at the hospital was that I had told them I'd taken Baclofen.
Horribly, since then I've been drinking. I havnt been able to stop.
Please what can I do?
I'm still taking valiums (about 10mg a day) and my doctor has now prescribed me Citralopam which is an SSRI.
Is it safe to take Baclofen.
I'm scared for myself
