Great to hear about your success with baclofen. There have been several polls in French, German and English forums. See or or or . Unfortunately they are not comparable, because their design is quite different.
I wish you all the best. DonQuixote

Everything is going generally ok and Baclofen continue to make its good job!
I'm actually on 70mg/day (titratin down) and the alcohol is far from me as addiction from already ~10 months (i'm not abstinent, still drink occasionally).
About the only SE i have (this tension headache) i report that is going better than months ago but is not completely gone... I notice that appears and is harder when i'm little more stressed/anxious together with a poor sleep (bad or not too much). Its really like to have a tight "helmet" on the head.
Annoying but ok, it's completely affordable for the good of being Alc free.
As i also know the French forum and the US too, i think it would be great if we will arrive all together to "join the power" to make something more for Baclo!
I'm working (trying to work) on some statistics data about the "indifference in the long-term" because if it seems undoubt that Baclofen works, i can even see a lot of relapses...
Join together the data of different country/language forums would be really great.
I will continue to post some update from time to time and news about this statistic project...
PS: someone know who is behind this "Mr Baclo" blog ( baclofen-selbstversuch.blog.de )? Is he/she still indifferent?
I don't like to see that the last update is on 2011...

Heel the need, and no more craving will be.
Quit coffein, quit anger and shame, and wheat, too.
Without those basics, getting rid off alcohol ist quite useless.
Undermine the structure, not the effects.
My 2 cent,

I've quitted my high-dose baclofene-therapy (gon' up to 175 mg/d) end of April '13. SE at + 100 mg/d went creepy. Worst were splitseconds of seeing myself torture my family und strange misfeelings in both my hands.
After quitting baclofene, SE stayed for about six weeks. Hallucination went short after quitting, misfeelings lasted almost two month.
If you suffer from some SE, reduce in small steps 'til SE let off.
Please keep us informed

just a short question in between: how long have you been on lower dose (120 mg / 135 mg)? We know, that SE can last for at least six weeks once they appear (have a look ). Did you already stay a six-weeks-period on low dose 135 mg? Maybe 165 mg was still a little bit too high, if rigid head didn't disappear after one and a half month.

I'm on Baclofen from about 6 months and i confirm that works! and great!
Actually i'm on 135mg after really slow titrating and after being 2 months and half on 165 (my supposed switch dose).
Sometimes still small "fights" between habitude and cravings but i will talk about this later.
The special question i want to ask to the forum its related to an uncommon (possible) side effect of Baclofen.
When i mount on 185mg (for "consolidating" what i consider my switch) i felt really bad SE,
Kind of intossication effects. Blood pressure exploded (too high / too low), pain in the kidneys and other stuff.
Everyhthing went ok coming back to my "normal dose" 165mg.
Everything apart one terrible effect of rigid head that is still present from 1 month and half.
The sensation its little bit hard to explain but it's something like to have a really "tight helmet", constantly 24/24.
The pain is not really big, but its constant and affects a lot the concentration, the humor... the well being that i've found (re-found) with my baclo-therapy.
It's not at all a migraine, sure its not. It seems to be muscle-related or occipital nerve...
I've tried to lower Bac at 120mg from 165mg, quite fast, but the disturb did not disappear.
I've tried painkillers that did completely nothing (1g paracetamol or 50mg diclofenac).
I've made EEG and all's ok with "phisiologic" impulses.
Right now i'm trying Tizinadine but it does not seems to help.
Someone have ever had this kind of headache?
If yes, how did you manage to let it go away?
Thanks for help.
I will present myself more in details little later.
PS: i'm a user both on MWO and on French forum too, but cannot find any answer...
