The tightness in my trunk was unbearable;I didn't sleep or eat after the first missed dose,until I took it for 2 days. The past 3 weeks,I've still had more tightness than I've had in years.      I will NEVER go without it again.        Cheryl in Easthampton,Mass. Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses. Hi Cheryl,   I too have the banding around my torso and it gets unbearable whenever something is wrong with me.  A while ago, I tried to go off of baclofen too, and wound up like you, in extreme discomfort.  Now, my doc prescribes me some valium which works much better, but I only take it when the tightness gets too much to bear.  Maybe your doc will do the same for you.  I only have 5mg. pills and take 1/2 at a time so they don't knock me out.  I like to stay in control...   Best of everything to you, Jude
