Accepted Answer

Need to ask Pain Doc: Yes, you have other options but you need to ask your pain doc. First, epocrates claims no significant interaction btwn Celexa (citalopram) & baclofen. Drugs.Com says there is a possible interaction http://bit.Ly/heiote.

Question 7

why would a dr prescribed baclofen for help in drug use and urges?   also would is cause drowsy if taken with seroquel (quetiapine) (for sleep)?

Accepted Answer

No: This along with methadone is not one of the products used for drug abuse. He needs to be in a monotoring program

Question 8

any drugs 4 spasticity that could replace baclofen, and be taken with celexa safely? except i am allergic 2 zanaflex (tizanidine)..plz help i need my celexa back!

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Clonazepam is a possibility but is a controlled substance and is not prescribed unless you really have problems with he baclofen. It causes dependence and is pretty hard to wean from.

Question 9

missed enough doses of baclofen to have withdrawl symptoms. when withdrawal symptoms started; the backpain that was being treated disappeared. possible the drug was causing pain and at the point of withdrawl its effects were "turned off"

Accepted Answer

: I don't think that baclofen caused your back pain. It should be slowly tapered off to avoid its classic withdrawal symptoms which can be severe. Hopefully you've dodged true withdrawal issues.
