Re: mitoldies: neurosurgery update/ baclofen

January 6, 2005

I feel like a broken record when I say that I have had many students on it.

I have also been on it myself and so has my son. I was taking Flexeril and

that wasn't controlling the cramping, so I was switched to the Baclofen. He

worked about the same as the Flexeril, so the doctor said to add a mid-day

dose. I helped with the cramping, but I also felt ADD. I was driving and

would get to looking at the snow covered trees instead of the road. That

scared me as I had to drive and work. I decided, along with doc, to go back

to the Flexeril. It might not do that with you or your doc might have you on

a different dose, so don't take my experience as a reason to not try it.

I hope you get in for the MRI without having to wait too long.

Hugs,

..as your Doc. has prescribed it, it is well worth

trying..after all Baclofen may be your personal medication answer..I

personaly tried it a few years ago but couldn't function with

it...unfortunatly I went all 'floppy' on it but lots of others have

a good response to it..
