Im not sure how it works in your neck of the woods, but no doctor or medical professional will deny you baclofen if you are in jeopardy of serious Bac withdrawls. If given the right medical care (which we all want) none of this shit would be so hard.

Some doctors are more receptive than others, however if you are on the come down from Bac it is still their role to treat patients sately and effectively knowing they are withdrawing, they have an obligation despite where it came from (as they would do if it where insulin,ventolin,fluoxetine or whatever) It is not a prohibited substance, mostly it just need explanation. My opinion only.

Hello Indiv,

Thanks for the feedback.

My thinking is very much in line with yours. The problem is that I would be upset beyond belief if I were to be turned down by any doctor. That's why I am pursuing every other available avenue first.

I'll let everyone know how I get on.

I agree with Indiv, no doctor worth his salt would turn you down. And there's always the ER if things get really dire -- which they won't!

Bottom line, if you tell them you are on Bac, and you are in withdrawl, the remedy is Bac. It is not a prohibited substance any hospital will give it to you, any GP even, if you just explain what is happening, they will prescribe give you enough to titrate down safely. Dont be afraid Virgil, they are just people like you, me and everyone here. Take your Diazapam for the anxiety and get down to the Doctor to tell them the story, that is if you are aftraid you dont have enough to titrate down safely. It will be the quickest and most effective way to handle this situation.

I just got caught up on this. Please let us know, Virgil.

Like indNZ says, I believe that if you tell any doctor that you have been taking bac (you will have to admit you have been doing it on your own), and you need more to avoid dangerous withdrawal, they will have an obligation to help you.

But, as Tip says, the most important thing is to monitor your own reaction, and feel confident that you have somewhere to turn to for help if the withdrawal symptoms actually do get serious.

None of this is medical advice, and we all know it. I wish we could all stop having to apologise for it, or make a long preamble to any personal advice we have to share. geez.
