I haven't updated my progress for awhile so here are the amazing things that have happened recently. My husband and I have been doing TSM for over 7 months now and though we have seen some noticeable changes the drinking is still high to the point that we have looked into Baclofen as another route besides doing TSM. I came across on MWO the article of GQ about Dr. Ameisen treating a patient named Martin but the interesting thing I noticed was a colleague of Dr. Ameisen named Dr. Fred Levin who I took a chance of calling in the hopes that he might call me back. Well, he did call me back saw the two of us a few days later and is totally on board with Baclofen and is a close colleague of Dr. Ameisen. He has treated 40 patients so far with 100% success and believes Dr. Ameisen will get the Noble prize for his work with Baclofen.

Now here is the great part I just talked to him about the people on this forum (mind you he gave me his home phone number) and he told me that he would rather have you call him than try to do Baclofen by yourself and fail and get hurt. So here is his name and home phone number and he said to be patient because he can only talk to so many people at a time. I have been on Baclofen now for over 2 weeks and have had NO SE and he told me that I should not expect to have any!!

Dr. Fred Levin

Good luck to all my friends there is help out there!

Oh. My. God. Unbelievable. I am calling him.

THANK YOU CORKIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pick me up off the floor -

I should have said in the first post that Dr. Levin is in CHICAGO Central Time Zone so please call between 7:00 - 9:00 CT. We really want to be thoughtful of him and for his openness to help us. He really is a unique man which my husband and I are so very grateful for.

Corkit,

I was wondering how you and your husband are progressing. I have been doing TSM for about six months and still have a huge problem with binging. I am planning on giving TSM a few more months, but I am curious about Bal. Any update that you could provide would be appreciated.
