Patient Learning in Action
For years, I had always taken just 10mg of Baclofen. I was told long ago by my neuro that "too much Baclofen can cause weak legs."...Then: I sign up here. Take a peak at what you guys are doing, and find out I don’t take enough Baclofen to deal with my symptoms. Give the neuro a call, no problem, and much, much better.
