There's a Radiolab podcast about a pill that supposedly cures alcohol addiction: http://www.radiolab.org/story/addiction/ http://www.radiolab.org/story/addiction/
The pill they mention is called "Baclofen", and the podcast goes into how effective it is and why, if it's so good, it isn't used broadly yet.
- overcast 9y agoLooks like Baclofen is a muscle relaxant. That would explain why it's not broadly used.
- choxi 9y agoCould you elaborate?
- H4CK3RM4N 9y agoI'm pretty sure muscle relaxant is synonymous with laxative.
- overcast 9y agoThis goes for basically all muscle relaxants. Don't plan on being very productive. What should I avoid while taking baclofen? Do not use baclofen at a time when you need muscle tone for safe balance and movement during certain activities. In some situations, it may be dangerous for you to have reduced muscle tone. Drinking alcohol with this medicine can cause side effects. This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
