Good-day all, I took Baclofen 25mg tabs from January 1994 to June 1996. I
was told to wean my self from them gradually. I started on three daily
reducing by one half tablet over a eighteen month period. I was put on
them for spasm control and while as an inpatient in hospital I was on three
other 25 mg per day tabs and all they did was put me to sleep and in those
days I would fall out of the wheelchair, I don't like medications
generally but now I have to take ditropan for bladder control. Just
thought I would toss my few cents worth in the ring.

Kind regards from Errol in Sunny Queensland, Aust..
