Hi Shirley,

Based on my research, Baclofen is a muscle relaxant and most commonly used for those trying to battle alcohol addiction. However, I have heard of some using it to withdraw from opiates and benzodiazepines (like xanax) with some success. I believe the reason why it may help, is because it is an anxiolytic which help to decrease anxiety. I know anxiety is one of the main issues people suffer from when going through withdrawal.

Something to keep in mind however, is that the discontinuation of Baclofen can be associated with a withdrawal syndrome that resembles benzodiazepine withdrawal and alcohol withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms are more likely to occur 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 minimize Baclofen withdrawal symptoms the dose should be tapered down slowly when discontinuing Baclofen therapy. Abrupt withdrawal is more likely to result in severe withdrawal symptoms. Acute withdrawal symptoms can be stopped by recommencing Baclofen.

If you decide to try Baclofen, only your doctor can prescribe you the correct dosage based on your medical history.Have you spoken with your doctor about Baclofen yet? I hope my reply helps!
