Abstract

Clinical data and patients’ accounts have provided accumulating evidence supporting the efficacy of baclofen in the treatment of alcoholism. However, alcohologists remain reluctant to prescribe baclofen. It should be remembered that alcoholism is a lethal illness for which no efficacious treatment exists, except baclofen. The author of the present paper relates his experience with the prescription of baclofen, and analyses the potential obstacles that may limit its efficacy. A biological approach of the mechanisms by which baclofen may act is also proposed.
