Hi Patti - Do you find that Baclofen makes it difficult to think? I took it for a while, and it made me kinda stupid I couldn't do my crossword

Dec 2003 my neuro rx'd baclofen for spasticity and the next day I had physical and occupational therapy. Both therapists told me I didn't have spasticity and wanted permission to talk with my neuro. So there I was in my TM stupor questioning who knew best. I started on the baclofen and have never discontinued it. My Neuro knew best. I am too flexible (rubbery) if I take over 10mg so he moved me to every six hours and that works for me. I couldn't have discribed it at well as Merieke's post, however, it's exactly how both the spasms and spasticity feel to me.

The 'arthritis' is genetic/ "getting older" he said - but it is unusual for my age. He said my 2001 car accident didn't have anything to do with it - but my chiro told me in 01 that it would come in time because it almost always shows up in a few years after a major collision. Anyway - what's the scoop on all these meds. before I decide to go ahead and take them I just wanted find out if it is worth the time. > > > --------------------------------- > You rock.
