bronzie

I met with my doctor this morning, and she was so kind and helpful. She thanked me for coming in to talk to her, and had lots of good information for me. She recommends me to an individual counselor, and also I go back to see her once a week. She prescribed Baclofen to be taken 3 times a day for cravings. If that doesn't help after a week or so, she will switch me to Naltrexone.
Anyone used Baclofen for stopping drinking before?
I have had some strong cravings and headaches today, but I am hopeful and feeling ok for now.

Naltrexone made me feel like utter crap after only taking it one day. I'm not sure I can stick with it, I'd be interested to know how you do on the Baclofen.

Nicely done, bronzie. Stay close.

So far the Baclofen does seem to be helping with the cravings and anxiety, but it's only been about a week and a half, and I'm on a low dose, 30mg/day. So far so good.

Glad your doctor could help you.
