Addiction

There have been indeed several formal tests to find out baclofen efficacy to treat addiction. I found two recent scientific papers stating precisely that:

BACLOFEN EFFICACY IN REDUCING ALCOHOL CRAVING AND INTAKE: A PRELIMINARY DOUBLE-BLIND RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED STUDY

Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial of Baclofen for Cocaine Dependence: Preliminary Effects for Individuals With Chronic Patterns of Cocaine Use

At least with regard to alcohol addiction, the current version is clearly biased. It places the relevant section before more basic information, makes unsupported assertions, and says "Regrettably" when stating the fact that most scientists haven't seen this theory as being worth mention. I've tried to clean up the major violations. JamesMLane t c 08:25, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Russian cokeheads and tweakers use this stuff, religiously. But, as you may have guessed, NOT to treat addiction. Rather, it's reportedly a heavy stimulant abuser's best friend after a long binge, relaxing their jitters and letting them sleep. Doesn't do a thing to make them lay off the coke or meth, though, and hardcore users may use it at high dosages on a daily basis! Aadieu (talk) 08:59, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
