PR Executive,Anna Sargent jumps to her death while suffering withdrawal from a drug she found on the internet meant to help with her alcoholism

Anna Sargent 36,from London, had come across baclofen online when she was trying to find a way to get over her addiction to alcohol. But despite being treated at the exclusive Priory clinic she was unable to deal with the drug's withdrawal symptoms and after she heard from her consultant that the terrible side effects of withdrawing from baclofen would last for weeks, it caused her to feel more anxiety. She became suicidal and leapt off river Thames Bridge to her death.
Ms Sargent was last seen alive on September 18 last year when she left Charing Cross Hospital in Hammersmith, West London, where she was being treated for severe panic attacks.
Ms Sargent's parents, David and Margaret, have accused staff at the Priory of mismanaging their daughter's attempts to stop using baclofen, whose withdrawal symptoms include hallucinations, insomnia and confusion.
May her gentle soul RIP!
