My D.O. prescribes a book: 'Heal Thyself,' written by a French Surgeon, on the brink of life disaster -- with self-prescribing clearance, Clarance - who had been through the rungs of A.A., and remembered a newspaper article, that a family member had sent him -- on the study of baclofen, as per addiction in rats. so he started his experiment. . . what he discovered was :: the onset of alcoholic craving is an anxiety. baclofen has a non-addictive, non-tolerance buildup, as a skeletal muscle relaxant (also used to treat seizure), with the benefit of enhanced neuro-function. it does require a taper up and taper down, if you so choose. dosages should start at 10mg 3x t.id. and ramp to 40-60mg x 6hrs.
