I'm not going to comment on my personal life in detail but I have had experience with both alcohol & baclofen. I've also had experience with benzodiazepines such as Librium. Baclofen is entirely different from Librium, or Xanax, or any of the many others in that class of drug. I would not have started this thread either as a joke or a as a deception. Baclofen is an outstanding & indeed marvelous & unexpected drug that treats effectively (in my experience, as well as that French physician who I quoted) a pitcher plant-like sticky trap that lures addicts almost inevitably back into abuse of a substance that can & does produce long term harm.
Your persistently negative attitude toward this drug is not productive & likely does an effective job in scaring away people who might benefit from it. It is not addictive, like alcohol. To my knowledge, no one has ever died from baclofen or initiated a malpractice suit against a physician why had prescribed it. It has been used as a drug of abuse but so has Librium.
Let me be clear.
As of this date the evidence does not support bacoflen is a cure for addiction
