I've been trying slowly to reduce my amount of baclofin because a few top neuroscientist believe that it does inhibit neuro-- regeneration. It is not easy thing to do and I've noticed that had to reduce my amount slowly each week.... however the amounts of spasticity have increased.
Not spasm-just that General tightnessand has begun to limit my trunk strength -- so to combat that I've added Valium to my daily pill buffet. Which worked for a little while, but I've noticed my resistance or rather tolerance has become strong. I really don't want to go on, higher amounts -- because I know it is addicting...
I know marijuana is a great remedy -- however, I don't have the finances or the lung capacity to use this as an alternative -- regardless of the legal aspect. Has anyone used Marinol for spasticity?
Is it time released? -- does it make you feel to dopey?
A friend of mine who had MS used it for awhile, but wasn't pleased and went back to smoking.... he has since passed, and I'm not sure how he was able to get a prescription to try.
Has anyone had success -- are their studies, I could present to my primary-care showing results. And then try to convince her to prescribe it?
Any insight you guys have im all ears.
Thanks -- chaz
