Hi All.

I have suffered from Heavyweight Treatment Resistant Depression, Anxiety (specifically social anxiety) and ADHD for most of my life (30 year old male). I finally found a cocktail that gives me 100% remission: Parnate ( Tranylcypromine an irreversible MAOI) 50mg's Phentermine 60mg's (or slow release Methylphenidate 54mg's) {BP remains stable} plus Baclofen which I found a year ago.

For those who aren't to familiar with Baclofen:
Baclofen produces its effects by activating the GABAB receptor, similar to the drug GHB which also activates this receptor and shares some of its effects. However, baclofen does not have significant affinity for the GHB receptor.
There is a very similar agent called Gabapentin.

For me Baclofen was / is a wonder drug it doesn't just eliminate my anxiety but well I dunno how to explain it. TV shows and music and life in general is enjoyable on Baclofen. I have confidence and don't care what what people might think of me and just feel better when on it.
It has also eliminated my excessive alcohol consumption.

Sure when my psych first gave it to me I took his recommended dosage and it didn't really help. So I looked on Bluelight and some other people found it to be quite nice at slightly higher doses. So that's what I did. Took it at a slightly higher dose then prescribed. (A problem I have had for many years).
Now a year later I am at 320mg's a day. 4 times the recommended daily dosage. I told my psych and he said I could take up to a maximum of 200mg's.

Over the year I have tried detoxing myself 3 times. First time was successful (probably wasn't taking as much). Second time failure and last time (2 weeks ago) I went 5 days without it but couldn't leave my house or cook or clean or watch awesome TV shows just lay in bed taking heaps of benzo's and major tranquilizers and still couldn't sleep properly tossing and turning inside and out of minor nightmares.

I guess I just have to try again but lower the dosage slower, try and focus, mindfulness, exercise etc and don't be a pussy.

Although I would love to hear from anyone else who could give advice or personal experience on these other chemicals that may ease the detox or even help my symptoms more effectively.

Phenibut
Memantine
Tiagabine & Vigabatrin (sound hard to get)
or any others.

I know it probably sounds like I am a typical Bluelight junky trying to stay high 24/7 but I do intend on non daily usage of drugs in the future, it's just I need them now to try create a life worth living then I won't require all these pills so much. Well that's the plan. And I think I am slowly getting there after 8 years of trials and significant damage to my body.

Regards
 
Well since you are prescribed the Baclofen it should be the responsibility of your doc to safely taper you, however we all know this isn't always the case. I remember getting dropped off at 3600mg/day of gabapentin without more than a 'best of luck - go get em tiger' from my doc. Anyways, it would make sense to find something with a longer half life to lessen the severity of the acute phase much like heroin addicts do with buperenorphine. It would make the best sense both logically and economically to roll with Phenibut followed by a comfortable taper with that and a last minute jump to something like picamilon + l-theanine. I'd say you have some options to avoid jumping out of frying pan and into the fire.
 
i was in baclofen withdrawal a few times so i know how fucking unpleasant it is. GHB and phenibut will eliminate all withdrawal symptoms, although i'd stay away from the GHB as it is much more addictive than baclofen and the withdrawal is horrible. another drug that helped me a lot was pregabalin in fairly high dosages.
 
Thanks guys big help. See my shrink wouldn't know this stuff and he charges 150$ per 15 minutes here in Australia. But he gives me discounts and prescribes the schedule 8's (hard to get stuff). I just have to find the info for my treatment myself. I find it's the only way.
