I've been on too many meds to list, but have tried many related to the GABA system (Neurontin, Gabitril, Trileptal, Topamax, etc.) I've tried a boat load of supplements as well and do take L-Glutamine. For the past 2 years I've been taking Celexa and Topamax. This combo did work better than anything before it, but I've had to decrease the Topa to only 25 mg d/t the extreme and debilitating fatigue it started causing.
Now that I hear about baclofen for alcoholism and anxiety, I'm wondering if this might be a good idea. I actually went through a stint of using Phenibut earlier this year when the anxiety got too bad and it worked well, but found I couldn't take it any more because the tolerance to it develops so quickly. I read that the psychopharmacological activity of phenibut is similar to that of baclofen, and it is supposedly a p-Cl-derivative of phenibut. I ordered Ameisen's book hoping it might shed some light on using baclofen. The only thing is, although my psychiatrist is very open minded, I seriously doubt she will prescribe this for anxiety alone and not to stop drinking. Does anyone have any thoughts on using this for anxiety? Has it helped any of you that have problems with anxiety?
