Hi Everyone! I'm new to this group. I am currently studying to become an Occupational Therapist. I just wanted to introduce myself, and see your perspectives. Let me know if you have any questions about occupational therapy and I would be happy to answer. I'm very interested in what everyone has to say. -Mare, OTS On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 1:51 PM, andrea murray <emma_wolf2...@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi, Yes I took baclofen for a long time when I was in High School. I have CP and the doctor I was seeing then was for the drug for people with CP. In 1993 I broke my neck and the had to go off it. I didn't have any side effect. In away I wish I was back on it, because I have really bad -muscle spasms..

To: "q-list" <quad-list@eskimo.com> Date: Monday, January 19, 2009, 1:29 PM 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. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=11605466&ch=4226723&src=news Tim c5 c6 WhoopieKat.com A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
