Should I continue taking the Kudzu and L Glut with the Baclofen? My doctor is unsure. Anybody know?

I have continued with l-glut, melatonin, St Johns Wort, milk thistle, vit B complex. Am on 240mg bac. All are complimentary & safe.

Thanks Zenstyle. One thing I have found is I cannot take my clonazepam with my Baclofen....for some reason it makes me want to drink more. Didn't take my clonazepam at all yesterday and only my Baclofen and I did Great!

I agree with the others. Definitely continue the L-glut -- it's safe and is just darn good for you.

More importantly, definitely continue with the Milk Thistle. You need it. It is absolutely necessary to recovering alcoholics. In fact, I believe it is necessary for everyone living in our toxic world.

Re: the clonazepam-- depending on how long and how much you have been taking of this drug, you probably should not stop taking it suddenly. Discontinuing Benzos such as clonazepam can lead to serious withdrawals, often dangerous or even deadly. I agree that Bac and benzos don't mix, but I think you should consult your physician about getting off the clonazepam in a safe way.

I am only taking 1.5 mg space over 3 times a day, .5 TID.....or as needed. So it wasn't really that high.

I don't know about clonazepam, but normally, if you have been taking a benzo regularly for over 3 weeks, your body could already be addicted, even to low doses. I'm not a physician and this is not medical advice, but if you have been at a low dose, I'm guessing you could titrate down fairly quickly. Still, if your body is used to it, for some people a sudden cessation could be problematic. I think consulting your doctor is the best way to be safe.
