A 37-year-old male asked:

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"

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.

Missed a dose of baclofen at miday two days in a row, doctor agrees this is what has triggered withdrawal anxiety. As I go back to taking the drug properly he figures this anxiety side effect should subside. Looking for some additional opinions?

Have been on oxycodone 15mg up to 4 times a day for about 7 months for chronic back pain. Concerned I might be physiologically addicted. How soon after a missed dose would withdrawal sxs start? What are common withdrawal sx? how long does it last?

Currently taking x2 10mg baclofen 3x daily. About 6 hours apart. wanting to eventually halve the overall daily dosage. would you expect that starting by halving just one dose a day (may be the midday dose) would cause a withdrawal response?
