    w/ding from 1 week of oral baclofen while on intrathecal pump baclofen after mistakenly thought pump was disconnected

    I have an intrathecal pump w/ dilaudid 9 mg/day and baclofen 250 mic's/day...the pump disconnected 4x in 9 months. Recently experienced symptoms consistent w/ baclofen w/d. MD rx'd oral baclofen which I took for one week 120 mg/day... just had dye test/ pumpogram showing all ok. MD said he'll call today - still no word - and that symptoms could be many things. I'm still taking the oral baclofen which last time knocked out my legs and made them like jelly (I couldn't get upstairs - I'm T2 ASIA D para... Questions - should I titrate down off the oral? What could be causing the symptoms? Why is the oral having NO effect if the pump is working? Any and all advice/opinions welcome...Txrrd
