A member asked:
Generally speaking is it possible that a muscle relaxant like baclofen could be helpful at a lower dose but then at a higher dose actually have the opposote effect by weakening muscles instead of just helping with pain and spasticity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High dose baclofen can cause weakness, especially if delivered via a Baclofen Pump. Often low dose oral baclofen is helpful and better tolerated than higher levels. Suggest you and your doctor titrate upwards or downwards to achieve best outcome with minimal adverse effects.
