In addiction, suppression of symptoms should suppress the disease altogether since addiction is, as he observed, a "symptom-driven disease". Of all "anticraving medications used in animals, only one - baclofen - has the unique property of suppressing the motivation to consume cocaine, heroin, alcohol, nicotine and d-amphetamine" -

This person claims to be taking only 6mg a day. That's one hell of a placebo effect.-Ian -

That site is hilarious. I particularly liked this description of their side effects:They switched on 30mg and now take a maintenance dose of 6mg. Easy-peasy, I don't know why all you idiots take 100s of mgs.I felt a floating sensation, and became more patient with my dog.
Hey Otter, good to have you back. Are you back?

He talks about a military study in which PTSD was treated. Is that with baclofen? He mentioned it took 7 days for something. Are there any studies on human beings, in which baclofen treats PTSD?This Princess Saved HerselfComment

I wonder what he regarded a bender as? Finishing a whole beer in less than a day?Comment

Otter, when I first saw the title of your thread, I was pretty sure you were gloating about your 6 month holiday! Good to have you back!Comment

I have been around this site here and there, spilling my pathetic guts about my AL consumption. Currently 750ml of vodka lasts 2 days.....with some wine mixed in. When I think about this I could cry at any minute, a dumb habit that grew exponentially and now here I am - I am not a 12 stepper person, I would like to drink on the weekends, or when out with my guy., Not sitting here alone night after night drinking. Sometimes I want to tell my guy what I am doing, call my parents and tell them, but I will never have the balls to do it. I want to handle this on my own, and I am embarrassed as well. My drinking has affected my life and screwed some things up for me, I am in grad school and am always afraid I will be sniffed out (it has happened twice - last year). Ugh I wish I could just mature out of this - I don't even like the taste anymore, waking up feeling like ass every morning - and having no energy or ambition. If not for my family, guy, and my pets and friends I think I would just end it, but I know I really don't have the balls for that. Well I admit this is a problem, I found that out a year ago at least, isn't it time for the next step already???? I feel like a dumb bitch!Comment

Hi Otter, hope you had a good vacation.
Hey Girl. I presume that you're considering baclofen. I can't recommend it enough and if you go down that route there is plenty of first hand experience here to guide you.
The baclofen course is actually really not that big of a deal for most people. you take the pills and then you stop drinking - period.Started Baclofen 3/9/10 Hit my switch at 250mg on 21/11/10 Present maintenance dose of 50mg : started drinking after 1 year, upped dose to 80mg and stopped: Tapered to 30mg, started 6 months of drinking, upped dose to 240mg to stop 12/7/12Comment

Hi, Girl, and :welcome: I hope you'll let us know how we can help.
I say more power to the guy that posted the blog. I'm glad he found freedom, at whatever dose! And good for him for putting it out there. More impact could be had, for sure, but whatever, we each have our own way of sharing our journey. Not many places to do that about bac, that's for sure!Comment
