Hi all! I have been lurking here for about 3 weeks while I was trying Naltrexone with very little success and now I am waiting for a fairly large order of Baclofen with great hopes that it will be more successful. Over the last 10 years of alcoholic life, I have had 1 good year of real sober joy, I mean, true sober happiness. I have been trying to identify what was so different then than now, and also how could I recreate that period of sobriety. And just yesterday I think I determined a huge factor that could be attributed to my lack of cravings of any sort during that year....neurontin (gabapentin). It is the only thing that I was taking during that year that I didn't take any other time. I was prescribed it for Bi-polar disorder but I stopped after seeing a shrink that said I was misdiagnosed and that I wasn't actually bi-polar. As soon as I stopped taking it, the emotional spiral began and has continued for a few years but I really didn't fit the pieces together until now. When the Baclofen arrives I will embark on that program completely, but I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with neurontin (gabapentin).

Waiting for Bac, a few questions....
Hi gotego and welcome to MWO meds board, I have tried gabapentin but only got a very small amount and cant really comment on it there are a few people on here who have used it however, I think Bruun has tried it. There are more people taking baclofen with success as you will have noticed. I hope you have success with stopping drinking, I know I have and have recieved great help and support from using MWO.
