Trapped

[ILGirl]

I am literally trapped, all I do is drink and I'm ashamed that rehab did not make me me quit. I need to go on baclofen (tried it once before, stopped due to side effects), it is my only hope. I know I need to call The Dr. in chicago, I am worried he will say no since I called him before but I don't know what else to do.

Just call. He will most likely not even remember you. This is fine. Tell him about yourself and say that you need a script and that's it. He doesn't really believe in SEs but you can say you got really anxious. The point is that he'll write you a script for whatever you need. Or you can order bac online.

Best of luck. You are NOT trapped. :l

Call him. You are not alone here. But be careful -its a dangerous place without seeking help. CAll him.

You do anything and everything you can to stop the madness.

I am absolutely sure you are not his first patient to stop and start...... Tis the nature of the addiction

Give him a ring and try again or look at other meds and chat here with those that knows.

Good luck and don't despair :l

Stuck is right. There is a door, but you can't find it in a pitch black room.
I hope the baclofen can switch the light on for you, like it did for me and many others.

Read on this forum and read a lot of it. There's a huge amount of valuable information around here, including info regarding side-effects and how people deal with them and how you maybe can reduce them.

Good luck!

Stuck is also right in that Dr. L is 1) totally used to that (I did it. Several times.) and 2) doesn't care/remember.

Just call him. The first time I actually talked to him (and the second and maybe even the third) I cried like a baby. I think it's fair to say that there isn't anything he hasn't heard before. At least not from the likes of us!

There's a way (many ways, but bac is a good one!) out. Hang in there. Don't give up.

Second what everybody says. He's a pushover even if he does remember you. I love him to death but the odds that he remembers you and/or recalls the details of your treatment are low at best. He definitely knows who I am now, but it's been at least a year and a half that I've been bugging him.
