Hi Cheryl and Jude My torso and back cry out for Baclofen too! I have weened myself t0 40mg daily and have been considering trying 30mg daily. Jude, do you take baclofen and add the valium when you need it or are you just taking the valium as needed and no baclofen at all. I understand wanting to stay in control .... I "think" I have better mental functions since lowering my dose of Baclofen. My response to valium is fast and strong so I wouldn't need much either.
