While it might decrease your tone, it can cause the muscles to feel weak, so it could interfere with your breathing. That being said, many people are able to use less baclofen, dose wise because it is going eight to the root of the problem. The only way to know if it might help is to go through a trial.
Have you tried Yale Medical Centrr? CKF |
