Texasman, are you familiar with baclofen?
Quote:
Recent clinical trials and case-reports indicate that baclofen, a GABA(B) agonist, may have efficacy for alcohol dependence. Baclofen has been shown to enhance abstinence, to reduce drinking quantity, to reduce craving, and to reduce anxiety in alcohol-dependent individuals in 2 placebo-controlled trials in Italy. The purpose of the present study was to test the efficacy and tolerability of baclofen in alcohol dependence in the United States.
i know many have taken it to reduce craving with alcohol and cocaine use. there's other info posted here at pc and those that have taken it found it quite helpful. i'm aware all of us on meds have different successes. (perhaps someone can find the articles and post if u're interested.) just a consideration.
