Im new here, after reading for a couple of weeks i just registered and decided to check this out.
I'v been struggling with alcohol for 15 years, i'm now 35. I live in Rotterdam Holland and i started taking Baclofen 3 weeks ago after 6 weeks of rehab therapy. and after that some time at home and relapse prevention.
i was clean for 3 months and goin to AA and NA meetings , then i stopped going because i did not want to be in that program anymore, several reasons..
after 3 months of cleantime i strarted having big cravings. then i heard about baclofen. i took 15 mg 1 week, then 30mg 2nd week, then i had a relapse, now i take 45mg
Wondering when the cravings will go away plus anxiety. i read so many succes stories i had to give it a shot. before i drank to numb emotions whenevr something would happen and that could be any small thing, after therapy some very big things still happened but i did not have any urge to drink, i was content dealing with it but now i started drinking jus to see what would happen and as a sort of reward .
Big mistake , i kept drinking for 3 days , now i stopped for 2 days. feeling messed up., i dont wanna go back to drinking..
My doctor gave me baclofen but knows nothing or very little about it, he does trust me on it after showing him one or two articles. . tomorrow i will see him again,
This dose does nothing for me , can i tell him to up the dose to what ??to this
hope someone with lots of experience will reply.. sorry for my english
Thanks in advance
Frankie
