Alcohol Withdrawal
"I read about Baclofen in Dr. Ameisen&#039;s book regarding the use of Baclofen for Alcoholics.  I am a long recovered alcoholic but have struggled with opiate addiction for 5 years.  After an accidental heroin overdose from which I was very near death, having needed IV Narcan because 8 doses of the Narcan Spray did not work, I followed up with my PCP 2 days later.  I brought up the fact that I had been clean prior to this short relapse and therefore did not want replacement therapy such as Suboxone, Subutex or Methadone since I had no physical dependency &amp; I told him about the Baclofen and asked if he would consider giving it to me as a last resort.  I have been 100% Clean ever since.  This needs to be studied further and utilized to save lives!"
