Answers:
I was on baclofen tablets for dystonia (spasticity) secondary to my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome!. It worked for a while, but its efficacy decreased over time!. I now have an intrathecal baclofen pump (it my baclofen directly into my spinal fluid), which is much more effective for me!.

If you are starting on it, be warned that it can have a few side effects initially!. I started out on 10mg three times a day and I was pretty zonked to begin with!. That disappeared over a few weeks though, and I was able to double that dose with no problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My friend Eddie is 87 and takes one now and then when his leg cramps or shakes while he is trying to sleep!. The cramping goes away and he sleeps like a baby!. He says it is really good stuff!. He uses it on an "as needed" basis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
