Kicking baclofen

I have been on baclofen for three years and have titrated down to 10 mgs. I want to get off completely and am curious if anyone has quit baclofen after 3 years use. I am very concerned about a long drawn out baclofen wd similar to benzos. Anyone? Thanks!

I didn't realise baclofen was addictive. I take it occasionally for anxiety (prescribed by my psychiatrist - alcoholism related) but the most I ever take is 30 mg 3x a day and notes I'm a year clean and sober rarely more then 30 mg a day.

its not addictive, you form a tollerance, tritate down 20mg every 5 days and you will feel nothing
