Dear client
Tablet Baclofen is used for reducing cravings and stopping withdrawal symptoms on stopping alcohol. The focus of your recovery should be onside effects of alcohol rather than those of tablets.
You can talk to your treating psychiatrist abou memory problems. Events under influence of alcohol are not registered in brain properly so there is difficulty to remember.
Next Steps
You want to consider an option of indoor stay for detoxification as there seems poor control on cravings.
Health Tips
vitamin B12 supplements will also help.
