Summary

This study tests whether baclofen, a muscle relaxant, can help people dependent on benzodiazepines (like Valium or Xanax) safely reduce their dose. About 93 adults with moderate to severe dependence will receive either baclofen or a placebo for 28 days. The goal is to see if baclofen makes it easier to lower benzodiazepine use without serious side effects.
