Benzos does baclofen potentiate benzos?

the thread title says it all.

Not sure if it potentiates benzos, but there is a warning about combining it with other CNS depressants.
See link below for the official patient information on Baclofen.

Hope this helps.

Be careful mixing these two drugs. Baclofen is a pretty strong depressant in its own right.

Since there's purportedly no recreational value to baclofen, there's a chance it won't potentiate any of the recreational effects of benzos but may well still be dangerous to mix since it'll layer sedation over sedation.

thanks for the input! i get it prescribed for alcohol addiction and it has been incredibly useful when i got physically addicted to GBL but not much else besides. it definitely potentiates GBL/GHB.

is there any other GABA agonist with no recreational value?

I have found that mixing baclofen in moderate doses (40-60 mg) with benzos makes for a nice mixture. The sedation is increased and the muscle relaxant properties of both the baclofen and the benzo synergize real well.

well i got a new script for baclofen, i'm now taking 100mgs a day + 600mgs of pregabalin + 90mgs of mirtazapine it really helps with benzo and acohol craving.
