Has anyone here used either of these (or baclofen) for benzo withdrawal with success?. seizures.Benzodiazepines treat alcohol
not be safe in pregnancy so I want to come off it. I've also read that baclofen withdrawals are comparable to alcohol and benzo withdrawals and
I realize they act on different GABA receptors but studies have shown Baclofen to be effective at aiding in Benzo withdrawal. All
Hydroxyzine is a moderate drug interaction with benzos and baclofen together can intensify side effects like drowsiness, excitable, mixing them.

Baclofen acts on the GABA-B receptors and is almost structurally identical to Phenibut, as well as similar to gabapentin. Whereas benzos primarily act on the GABA-A receptors. Generally, the best option for benzo withdrawal is tapering with a long-acting benzo like diazepam.
I had baclofen withdrawl in the beginning of my Benzo taper, I was at around 30 mg when I stopped as well. Before it had been higher. It was honestly the toughest part of the taper, idk if i can fully blame the baclofen though because at that point I was doing an extremely fast at home taper on a low half life Benzo.
Benzos and baclofen work on separate receptors and don't have a direct equivalence. Benzodiazepines are GABA-A positive allosteric modulators and have no affinity for GABA-B, baclofen is a GABA-B full agonist with no affinity for GABA-A.
As for everyone else ... life keeps adding on the 'happy' {sarcasm}.
My neurologist decided to prescribe a more powerful tool to manage the pain in my feet. So, he gave me a foot cream. What wasn't obvious was the non-prescribed 'side effects' of the foot cream which included ... (sigh) ...
Well, as my feet have been hurting like sons-a-bitches, I was slathering that cream on three and four times a day. It had minimal positive effect which was leagues ahead of the pain I was going through. Besides, it was foot cream. What was the worse that could happen?
Baclofen (2%) ~ [Lightheadedness or fainting, trouble seeing, severe tiredness, weakness],
Cyclobenzaprine (2%) ~ [Anxiety, restlessness, seeing or hearing things that are not there, severe drowsiness, fainting, or confusion],
Diclofenac (3%) ~ [Sudden or severe headache, or problems with vision, speech, or walking],
Gabapentin (6%) ~ [Behavior problems, aggression, restlessness, trouble concentrating, moodiness (especially in children), problems with coordination, shakiness, unsteadiness, unusual moods, or behaviors, thoughts of hurting yourself, feeling depressed, dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, tiredness],
Lidocaine (2%) ~ [which, somewhat stunningly, isn't trying to fuck with my head]
So I've been staggering around in a semi-lucid state for the past several days, unable to figure out why I couldn't do much, if any, writing. It took me complaining to my wife to provide some clarity.
I repeat - it is freaking foot cream!
I've stopped with the foot-crack and am back to dealing with the pain. Hopefully I'll be back to writing soon too.
