Advice/Tips Cost
Aug 20, 2008 This works great for spasticity but may cause breathing problems and severe fatigue. < $25 monthly
Nov 09, 2009 This is a great medication for the treatment of spasticity. However, you should seriously weigh the burden of your spasticity against the burden of increased sleepiness and fatigue. For me, I'd rather have spasticity than miss out on the joys of life because I'm too tired to notice. < $25 monthly
