Michelle,
>From what I have read, Baclofen is the drug of choice
for spinal cord related spacticity. Oral Baclofen sent me
into clinical depression, so I switched to Neurontin.
Neurontin is intended for brain related spacticity and
didn't help me in the very short [= unfair trial] time
I was on it. I am now on Zanaflex, 20 mg/day. Zanaflex
is no panacea, but when I miss a dose I am punished, so
it must be working a lot better than nothing. There are
side effects: as a sleeping pill, Zanaflex is superb
[grin], and it dried out every tissue.
This weekend I decided to have a Baclofen pump installed.
My neuro recommended it, so did several people on this
list, and the article referenced on our web site tipped
the decision.
