Asking dr for a baclofen script?
I’ve been sober for the most part the last 10 months but I keep relapsing on GBL. I had a bad dependency a year ago and withdrawal was hell. Every time I relapse even after months of no use, I go back to having severe withdrawal symptoms after just one use. It’s extremely destabilizing and I’ve been wanting to get a baclofen prescription but I don’t know how to. Every time I see a doctor for literally everything I get immediately shut down so I’ve been extremely hesitant to bring up baclofen to my doctor.
The other issue is that I can’t exactly say anything about relapsing on GBL. I see my doctor each month for my suboxone prescription and opening up about using GBL would put that at risk. My doctor also has no idea about my previous dependence on G and is only aware of my addiction history with opioids.
How should I go about this? I was prescribed baclofen shortly when I was in rehab and it worked amazingly. Should I just say that my cravings have returned just for a specific substance and that I would like to address this as a preventative measure? She does psychiatric medicine and isn’t specialized in addiction so I doubt that she’s familiar with off label use of baclofen or even knows what GBL/ghb is.
