New forum about baclofen

[anonymity]

Hi there,

I don't know if I'm allowed to post this here but we started a new forum about the use of baclofen in all sorts of anxiety disorders.

I was wondering if you guys could post your story about the use of baclofen for alcohol addiction. Because there should be more info on the internet about this medicine.

The website is:
Baclofen Forum

Thanks in advance!

It will be interesting to see responses from people with other disorders. I haven't tried to do journal research about the role of baclofen in the treatment of OCD, for example. Do you have any links / information at hand?

Otter has posted about baclofen & autism, but I can't recall having seen anything on the other disorders listed on the new forum.

The one story already posted in the Dutch section is very interesting w.r.t. to cocaine & Ghb. I'm Afrikaans-speaking so luckily it's easy to follow.

Hey, anonymity!
um. wow.
Who, what, where, how and why was this set up?

I can see that it's brand new, that there is some foreign language activity, but nothing on the bac/addiction section in English.

Is this really a site dedicated solely to baclofen? How's it funded? Where's it from? Who did it and why?
Thanks for the heads up! It's very, very exciting!

We read about baclofen being used in other disorders, so we would like to know from other people with other disorders as well what their experiences are. The forum is up for a day so we need to fill it with information.

How it's funded? Our own experiences! No scientific proof yet.

I can't log in over there. I know this is because I have the cookies blocked. I don't know which one to enable though, and I'm reluctant to enable stuff like "hardcorepornmag." just to figure out how to stay logged on.

Any suggestions, MWOers?
And which one are you over there, anonymity? I don't know the dutch word for anonymous! :H

I would encourage everyone to join this forum. I hope that it can become a forum for the "serious" discussion of Baclofen. I hasten to add that it has nothing to do with me. (transparent attempt not to be seen as an attention seeker)

Anyway, I have always felt that Baclofen is too important to be relegated to fourth spot after some pretty useless meds. Actually, I am surprised that MWO has not just let it come under "other meds" because, ultimately, it stands to put this web site and them out of business along with all the other not so good treatments for alcoholism. (don't want to appear to be biased against non bac takers)

Also, I hope it becomes a site for the not so serious discussion of Baclofen. I would not want to miss out on the witty banter and chat that makes this forum so much fun.

Of course, MWO is useful because it draws in people who are taking these other meds or still relying on self analysis, AA, homeopathy, voodoo... to cure themselves.

Brilliant Otter.

A place for everything, a role for everything.

Fulfilling different needs.

Dove-tailing, hand-in-hand.

Much cross-pollinating expected.

(needless to say, I have joined)

I agree with you Otter in terms of the websites:

Fulfilling different needs.

Dove-tailing, hand-in-hand.

But I do think MWO is, and will continue to be, a place where serious issues and "witty banter" not just coexist, but are part of the same dialog.

And it will be a long while before any website has the compiled information we have here... that is, until the two websites merge (or cooperate).

A place for everything, a role for everything.

Much cross-pollinating expected.

I do think that there is a similarity with AA in the sense that this site provides the support that AA is supposed to provide. Also, it has the advantage over AA that, being on line, it does not serve as a staging post for a night out drinking.

I knew someone who did AA and became well known around the city I lived in at the time. A real example of how AA can turn someone's life around. Except that she relapsed. Then one of her old friends, recognizing that she needed help, gave her that helping hand she needed, took her in, gave her a place to stay, a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk to, a new start...

She got a box of fire starters and burnt his house down with him in it.

Luckily he woke up and got out.

She got life.

So much for talking therapy.

I think I'll stick with Baclofen.

thats a heck of a story...
I respect AA and the people who have got their lives back together through it. It never resonated with me. The thought of living 'one day at a time' and in constant fear that you may relapse. Nah....I was always determined to find a 'cure'. So that one could look back on a problem that existed.....that no longer exists. Did I sometimes think that would never happen? Fuck Yeah. About 1000 times. But i kept looking high and low. I have tried everything. Baclofen, with all the reading I have done, seems on paper the best chance out of this hellhole. Let's see.......
All i know is that there are enough people on here who ARE cured that already its a fucking miracle. Everyone on here trying it is a pioneer. I take my hat off to all of you. One day all these success stories can be gathered in usable information to help the millions of poor barstards struggling with this condition who havn't been lucky enough YET to know about this/find forums such as this or to have gotten to a point where they are willing to try it.
The word is gonna get out. Cheers to that. Anyone developing any sort of problem early in their lives will be prescribed BAC and hopefully that will end their problem. NO need for endless suffering, years of hellishness and going through countless aborted attempts at treatments that are offered by our society and which are basically SHITE(massive relpase rates, huge death toll) and which make you feel useless - when essentially a pill could stop all that crap in its tracks, just like a diabetic takes insulin to stop the hell/death that wd ensure otherwise.
It may not save everyone this BAC but it's already making a huge impact. I am still in awe and hugely grateful that this option EVEN exists. And its bloody marvellous that people are finding their way out with it..........
Keep Spreading the Word all you success stories!!!! Hoping I will be on that cured list too so that I can shout it from the ROOFTOPS!!!!

Anonymous,

I did not see you post that much at MWO. I'm glad you took the trouble directing us to your site. I must warn you to be careful though. There once was a man here at MWO who was suspected to try to make an extra buck by directing us to his own website. He tried to proove the opposite but was not believed and slated. So I wish you a lot of succes with the new forum and I'll definitely will visit the site as long as I don't see any commercial banners Then again: a little VOC-mentality should be awarded though.

It could well be that after the Baclofen-research in Amsterdam, starting in oktober 2011 btw, exact research-plan will be written in spring 2011, there will be a huge 'market' for sites like these/yours. For now, I thank you for taking the effort of building a new forum.
