    If we spiked the water supply with this stuff ireland would up its productivity by 50%

    Then we could survive the recession and come out the other end a bunch of dryballs.

    yeah, coz muscle relaxants are known for their ability to give people energy and not for making even getting up from a couch a huge effert.

    The Drug

    "Withdrawal syndrome

    Discontinuation of baclofen can be associated with a withdrawal syndrome which resembles benzodiazepine withdrawal and alcohol withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms are more likely if baclofen is used for long periods of time (more than a couple of months) and can occur from low or high doses. The severity of baclofen withdrawal depends on the rate at which baclofen is discontinued. Thus to minimise baclofen withdrawal symptoms the dose should be tapered down slowly when discontinuing baclofen therapy. Abrupt withdrawal is most likely to result in severe withdrawal symptoms. Acute withdrawal symptoms can be stopped by recommencing baclofen.[10]

    Withdrawal symptoms may include auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, tactile hallucinations, delusions, confusion, agitation, delirium, disorientation, fluctuation of consciousness, insomnia, inattention, memory impairments, perceptual disturbances, anxiety, depersonalization, hypertonia, hyperthermia, formal thought disorder, psychosis, mania, mood disturbances, restlessness, and behavioral disturbances, tachycardia, seizures, tremors, autonomic dysfunction, hyperpyrexia, extreme muscle rigidity resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome and rebound spasticity.[10]"


    The cure sounds worse than the disease tbh.

    If you cant control your drinking, taking another drug is not an answer. Consider it an allergy to alcohol if you cant handle alcohol and make the most of life without drink.
