What is this drug? I have had epilepsy since I was 18, follwing a head injury and do very well on phenobarbitol. It's cheap and it works.

Seizure free for 14 years.

The only thing that treats any addiction, is when the addict decides he/she truly wants to quit, no matter what.

Well, now we come to the question: Do these addicts really want to kick the habit?

It's like someone pointed out that most (not all, of course) drunks don't want get on the wagon. The truth of the matter is they like to drink, they like the buzz, the way it makes them feel. What they don't like is the hangover. Get rid of that and you're not going to have many drunks wanting to get clean and sober.

Same thing might be true of drug addicts. Do they (again, a majority not all) really want to get off of drugs or, like the drunk, do they really just want to get rid of the downside?

I personally don't know, but it is an interesting point to ponder.

This drug will be banned from the market soon. There is no way we can have a successful way to reduce or stop drug use. Think of all of the jobs that will be lost if we stop chasing, arresting and incarceration of users.

Pretty useless study without a control group.
