    Back again...sigh

    im trying to kick booze again and am in a real bad spot. My anxiety / panic attacks are extreme today and it is only day one. I am trying to take 30mg of baclofen a day spread out in 10 mg doses but I am worried that baclofen will lower my threshold for a seizure. I do not want to go back up on HDB, but I'm trying to use it to mitigate the withdrawal symptoms.

    If I dont drink... I have panic attacks and anxiety issues not to mention I feel like I'm going to have a full blown seizure. If I do drink I feel worse the next day.

    By the way:

    Nightly drinker usually to the point of passing out, no shakes, no diaphoresis, my head feels like there's a rubber band around it, anxious as hell / panic attacks, gait is all fucked up.

      Dose hello and welcome back. I have no experience with baclofen but i do know when i gave up i took valium for a week as my anxiety had gone through the roof. It wasnt a high dose but just enough to put the anxiety at bay so i could function. I also had xanax which i was loathe to take as they are quite addictive but funny enough i was starting to pop them everyday in the lead up to me quitting as the anxiety was starting to take over my life. Then i would drink and it was a vicious circle. There are also over the counter anxiety meds so maybe you could either go to your drs or the chemist.

      I can relate to all you say about your drinking, i was a 2 bottle a night drinker, hit the repeat button daily, life was crap but now it is good, no it is great. The first week is hell, the 2nd is better, 6 months is a joy. Take one day at a time and for that day do not drink.

      We are the only ones that can stop putting al down our throats. You can do this!

        How's the LDB treating you? Bac *is* an anti-seizure med, if I'm remembering correctly. Any improvement since you last posted?
