antabuse and baclofen

[neophyte]

im up to 240mg a day of baclofen, my cravings are much improved but ive gone off the rails the past couple of weeks. I'm thinking of adding low dose antabuse to my baclofen to ensure that i dont even have a temptation. my cravings are gone, but i sometimes still slip up. So i think having that final defense is what i need.

has anyone done this? I'm quite scared of interactions, obviously i can't drink. but i take zoloft and the occasional diazepam on bad days.

I'm going to go see a doctor today about it.

I wouldn't worry about antabuse interacting with any of your other meds. I'd be cautious about the combination of bac, zoloft and especially the diazepam, though. What did your doctor say?

Hey Neo- I do have a fair amount of experience in my thread regarding Antabuse and Baclofen. I credit these tools together with any success I'm having (which is substantial at this point). I did definitely ask my MD first, as you should. Go back and read a bunch of my progress thread for the past ccouple months for more, if you're interested.

I know this is not going to be a popular post but:

my cravings are gone, but i sometimes still slip up.

Why would you slip up if your cravings are gone? Please help me understand that.

I take Antabuse. I take it because I know just because i think of it, I can't do it.

My cravings still exist, these days way far and in between, but they do exist.

If you are willing to do whatever it takes, Antabuse is a good help.

I am grateful for the full stop Antabuse gives me.

HTH,
Cindi

I wrote in another thread about me hitting my switch at 240mg, this happened a few days ago, so i won't persue antabuse. Like you said Cinders, why would i consider it if i didn't have cravings. In reality, i still did, though they were not as strong as before.
