David, When I get fatigued I end up with panic attacks that come with this awful feeling I can't breathe right. We are trying a steady course of clonazepam 4 times a day. It has helped but not cured the attacks. We are going to change my anti-depressant from effexor to paxil. I don't know if your breathing problems have anything to do with panic attacks, but I thought I would mention it. Gregory E.

I've mined the archives & the web but have not specifically been able to find the answer to my question. I am STILL in the dx seeking phase & now they have me taking Baclofen 1/2 of a 10mg tab 2 times per day (3 X per day starting wed). He wants to rule out something to do with GABAA before a trial of PD meds, & Baclofen does tat somehow. I have only been on it 5 days.` Q. Has anyone else had the experience of Baclofen causing shortness (too shallow) of breath? Increased difficulty doing everything.
