A Baclofen is one of only two substances known to affect the GABA-B receptor in the brain, and the only one that is itself non-addictive. Through the GABA-B receptor, baclofen has a beneficial effect on three neurotransmitters — dopamine, glutamate, and GABA — that are part of the brain’s reward system and are involved in all addictive and compulsive behaviors, as well as in disorders such as anxiety and depression. More research is needed to discover exactly how baclofen does this.
Wow, that really didn’t take much legwork. I guess I should have at least looked that far.
Speaking of promising solutions that won’t catch on due to predjudices, inertia, and lack of financial incenives, “Psychedelics” (loosely defined) are also prettyeffectiveat this if used right.
