    Ibudilast - a new possible treatment

    Basically its an anti-asthma treastment.
    Ibudilast is an anti-inflammatory drug used mainly in Japan, which acts as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, inhibiting the PDE4 subtype to the greatest extent, but also showing significant inhibition of other PDE subtypes.
    Ibudilast has bronchodilator, vasodilator and neuroprotective effects, and is mainly used in the treatment of asthma and stroke. It inhibits platelet aggregation, and may also be useful in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
    Ibudilast crosses the blood–brain barrier and suppresses glial cell activation. This activity has been shown to make ibudilast useful in the treatment of neuropathic pain and it not only enhances analgesia produced by opioid drugs, but also reduces the development of tolerance.
    It may have some use reducing methamphetamine and alcohol addiction.
    A thread was started on reddit in the last month (Feb 17')
    My Ibudilast Sobriety Diary : Alcoholism_Medication

    The author looks quite convinced, it would be good to hear from anybody here who has tried this.

    Feel free to get stuck into him with questions if you have a reddit account.

    He has attached some scientific studies there for the sperglords here

    Also a thread here on its nooptropic possibilities.
    Ibudilast, experiences? : Nootropics

    Sourcing it may be a problem though I would get it today to try out if it was freely available.

        This is a long article, but it mentions several treatment approaches: The Irrationality of Alcoholics Anonymous - The Atlantic
        My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.
