His story was the story of millions of alcoholics--until he decided to take his treatment into his own hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSearching for a cure for his deadly disease, he happened upon baclofen, a safe muscle relaxant that had recently shown promising results in studies with laboratory animals addicted to a wide variety of substances. Ameisen experimented with increasingly higher dosages until he reached a level that left him free of \u003ci\u003eany\u003c\/i\u003e craving for alcohol. That was more than six years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the past year, a growing number of researchers and doctors have been inspired by Ameisen and begun prescribing baclofen and lobbying for wide-scale studies into how the drug works.
