I have baclofen next to me since I'm a dentist I can prescribe everything but I didn?t took a pill once.

- My biggest concern is that I'm only 23y old, I know about the short term side effects of baclofen and I don?t care to be a bit sleepy and stuff like that, but I'm wondering and I just don?t know if it?s a good idea to take baclofen for like 50 years.
- Every time I want to start with it I ask myself the question, do I really need to take it. And the reason for that it that the craving to me only starts in the evening, I was also never drinking during the day when I drank. I was a binge drinker and always started in the evening. I have a lot of craving, it?s almost every day, I think like 5/7. But the days I don?t feel it is when I'm studying and so. So I always ask myself ?shouldn?t I just try harder on motivation en wait a couple of months more to get the craving away??
- Should I take it really 3 times a day when the craving only starts in the evening?
- Should I stop taking rilatin and maybe look if baclofen also reduces my impulsive disorder?

I'm now AF for 3 months, but I'm not having fun in the evenings, I can?t stop thinking about alcohol. And going to psychologists doesn?t help to me, they say I have to fill my life more with sport en activities, but then I want to drink after sporting etc? But during the day I'm very happy I'm always having fun en never think about alcohol.
So I just can?t decide what to do, start with it or not? Can I stop when I start? They say it will come back, but maybe I have to try baclofen en stop like for example 5 years en maybe I can quit on myself than because I don?t know anymore how it feels to be drunk etc..

Kind regards

Louis

How in the world are you a dentist at 23? Dentists have 4 years of undergrad and then 4 years of dental school. Was this part of your post an accident? Very strange!

You can only ask your prescribing physician what you should do. Although, I know most docs don't know about HDB, or even have great advice about us in general. But don't stop taking your Ritalin or any other med you take. I'm pretty sure nobody will give you advice here to do so. I agree with the others regarding TSM, but here's the problem where you're concerned: you already haven't had a drink for three months. To do TSM, you need to be actively drinking. I wouldn't think you should start drinking to do it. But I guess that's your decision. You could certainly try just taking 50 mg of naltrexone a day and not drink. I've heard that's helped others.

Apparently you have read about LDN, baclofan. I hadn't had a chance to read this thread earlier.

Oh, how very aggressive of you. Unlike the usual passive aggressive BS you do on multiple threads. Even to new people like DW who have never come back. You should be ashamed of yourself!! I, unlike Mx, have very little compassion for you at this point. I think you and your IP address need to be banned. So you can't continue under your multiple user ID posts. I agree, Ne. How the hell is this still going on? FTR, I'm the one who takes Adderall and Xanax. Both are prescribed by my psychiatrist who's been practicing for a coon's age. He knows my hx, he also knows that I don't abuse what he prescribes. He's been my doctor for 4 years. Unless you are a physician (specifically a psychiatrist) you shouldn't be weighing in on these matters. Not like you've ever done it to be helpful anyway!

How the hell is this still going on?

I just figured out the answer to that question. The passive aggressive thing looks innocuous from a distance. The posts, in and of themselves, don't seem particularly bad.

It actually must be kind of confusing from an outsiders point of view. It's no wonder I'm getting confused stares (metaphorically speaking) from the moderators.

No worries. I'll wrap it all up in a nice little package tomorrow. If I have time. It doesn't look good. But I'll try to take time from my busy day to deal with desperados' (baclofan/benzo control board) insanity. Bet that makes you very happy doesn't it, desperados/baclofan/benzo control board? yes. I'm quite sure it does. You're still sick. I get it. I really, really hope you start to work on THAT aspect of your miserable drunken life. In the meantime, you'll have to keep it to yourself from now on. I'll be very glad to see the end of this chapter.

btw, nice to see you RedH. :l

[StuckinLA]

to baclofen or not? 23y old

Sorry about the dentist thing, I think RedH assumed you were in the U.S. And she's completely correct, as TSM works if you're currently drinking. So if you're 3 months sober there isn't much point to starting drinking again to try it...

Hmmmm. Now for anti-craving options.

[redhead77]

to baclofen or not? 23y old

I apologize, Louis. I did wrongly assume you were in the U.S. You've heard about Americans, haven't you? We think everyone and everything revolves around us! :H

You could still try taking naltrexone and see what happens. Just not as TSM. For some people Campral seems to help with cravings. Especially in people who aren't drinking. That's the drug I might try if I were you.

Good luck! :l And I'm sorry about the drama on your thread. It shouldn't be this way.

What SE do you feel? And you helped me, everyone who just tells a story and tries to help is a help.

Louis

Well, my SE has been some insomnia but I think that has alot to do with me tirating up too fast. The higher uyou go in dosage the longer you need to stay at that dose (at least for me) so that the insomnia doesnt get out of control. Also lack of appetite, which for me isnt a bad thing!! lol I also have drowseyness during the day and sometimes get a dry mouth. As of now those are my SE. Like some of the others are saying there are other options out there so educating yourself so you can make the best decission for you would be a great idea!!

You can only ask your prescribing physician what you should do.er med you take.

Interestingly enough doctors in Europe are allowed to prescribe meds to themself unlike their peers in North America...corret me if I'm wrong but wasn't that the decisive reason for Dr. Ameisen to return back to France hence no doctor in States was willing to prescribe him HDB, and in his native country he could simply prscribe it to himself...but hey take it with a grain of salt, cos apparently I mr/mrs kow fck all and being here consistently accused of posting misleading info......

No. No that wasn't the case at all. So I'll remind us that OA had no problems prescribing bac for himself here, because it's not a controlled substance. He did consult with other physicians here in the US, though, to make sure what he was doing was safe. And it was. Then, if you'll remember, he was actually really worried about returning to France on vacation, because he wasn't sure pharmacies there would carry bac. But they did, and he was just fine.

Thanks for the opportunity to give a history lesson, though. I'm sure it was very helpful for everyone!

hmmmm maybe this the perfect combo to keep someone 'sober' after all, you remaind me of certain poster again that claims no longer drinking agains her will anymore being on exact same combo of meds...(other words prescribed 'speed' coupled with a downer in order to take the edge off the speed)...hmmmm... just a food for a thought
