Hi friends,

With the recent interest in baclofen I thought I might look up the
monograph.

http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/baclofen.htm

Scroll down to.....

"The efficy of baclofen in stroke, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson's
disease has not been established and, therefore, it is not
recommended for these conditions."

Scroll further down to.....

"Warnings: Tablets
Abrupt Drug Withdrawal: Hallucinations and seizures have occurred on
abrupt withdrawal of baclofen.  Therefore, except for serious adverse
reactions, the drug should be reduced slowly when the drug is
discontinued."

I'm not a dr. or a medical professional... I'm a mechanic, but.....

If one of my family were on this med. I would recommend downloading
and printing this monograph and discussing it with the prescribing
doctor.

Now I think I'll look up Symmetrel (Amantadine).... murray
