At that point it wasn't being distributed in the United States and myself and several other people lobbied FDA to speed up the process. Once it became available, I noticed it wasn't being used nearly as much as I thought it would be. In fact, when I inquired about using it myself, they told me that my medicine was effective enough and changing would probably be more problematic. I have never found baclofen to be very sedated, I usually have problems with diazepam and dantrolene. I guess were all different.

Supposedly, it doesn't have the sedating effect like baclofen and tizanadine. It's really a pain in the ass--with baclofen when my spasms are gone I just wanna sleep, but once the meds wear off I'm awake and as spastic as before. A circle can be so cruel. They aren't doing trials in my state or I would do it. The only thing is you have to get off of all your spasm meds and still you might wind up with the placebo and not the drug.
