Written by an experienced doctor, who is also a fellow sufferer and Baclofen patient, the B4a Baclofen Handbook is a complete practical guide to taking High Dose Baclofen to help with the cravings associated with chronic alcoholism and the chronic anxiety that often precedes it.
It draws upon his considerable experience through the baclofen4alcoholism.com web site.
In simple short step-by-step sections it details the whole 'Baclofen Process'; from you initially contemplating taking Baclofen to (hopefully) a successful long term outcome.
It is not a detailed academic treatise about Baclofen or chronic alcoholism. Rather it represents a simple user-friendly practical guide to help sufferers, their close family / friends and the professionals involved in caring for them.
Concise, easy-to-understand information when you need it most.
If you are thinking of asking your doctor to prescribe Baclofen for you, take this book along. It might just encourage him or her to help you.
Lastly, if you have read Olivier Ameisen's profoundly important 'The End of My Addiction' and want to find out more, or even proceed with Baclofen, then the B4a Baclofen Handbook is the next step to take.
