Hi,
Baclofen acts on the spinal cord nerves and decreases the number and severity
of muscle spasms.
It also relieves pain and improves muscle movement. Side effects: drowsiness,
dizziness, weakness,
confusion and upset stomach. I have all but weakness and upset stomach.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Baclofen q's....
I would like to know who uses baclofen and the side effects you
experience; like hypotension (which I already suffer from), or any side
effects. I took this drug right after my accident in '88, but that was 20 yrs.
ago and my memory did not log any recollection of the side effects.
Below is a news link; a doctor claims it worked for his addiction to
alcohol, it got me thinking of changing my spasm medicine. I do not suffer from
alcohol addiction; but I take diazapam for spasms, and was going to talk to my
doc about baclofen for the spasms. I was just recently diagnosed with inherited
Cardiomyopathy; so I was wondering about any cardio side effects as well, which
I will find out when I have another echo cardiogram next week.
