A member asked:

Does overdose of baclofen pump cause legs to shake a lot? please, need some answers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Baclofen pump: No. Just the opposite. A Baclofen pump malfunction means not enough Baclofen is getting into the spinal fluid and this leads to increased spasms. It is important to see the surgeon who placed the pump to avoid symptoms of withdrawal. Too much Baclofen leads to paralysis of the legs.
