Joes Baclofen Journal! (started 21/06/2011)
Hi Joe, thanks for your comment on my thread. I hope all is going Ok with the Baclofen and that we all of us here come out of this. I really responded to your comment about family. Whoa, I know all too much about genes and GABA A and B and dopamine. I'm fully convinced that an inbalance in dopamine is to blame for addiction. Our brains are so finely tuned and little understood.
What's worse for me, and I guess everyone on this site, is that theres a big difference between a social drinker or user of drugs to an addict. When something becomes an addiction, its something that has taken over your soul and your mind, and you lose all power and control over that. Who understands that a substance can take away your willpower. That without it you can't fuction. That's a terrible thing and I wouldn't wish on anybody. My problem BTW was from GBL (I was a Raver) and at the time it was like heaven in a bottle, albeit one of chemical solvents ( LOL ) But what GBL mimics is is both diazepam and acohol combined. Hence the long detox with valiums and the use of alcohol, but way before that I always had an an alcolol problem. Looking back it's what caused a lot of grief in my life.
We all know it here..the loss of relationships, work, time, and over time the degeneration of you very soul. The dark depression after a binge, the guilt over what you have done. How we hurt those we love but don't remember a thing the next day.
I hope to beat it hun, and I know we all will.
And also that we can push harder for our health services about why they won't consider Baclofen as a drug that has the potential to help so many people.
