I agree. As doctor, before you do anything. Get approval first! Best Wishes In a message dated 6/20/2013 9:09:15 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
They weaned me down many years ago, but I also take a multitude of other muscle relaxers. Talk to your doctor about reducing the medication 10 mg for a few weeks and see how it goes. That way if it doesn't work out, you can always just bump it up to the normal dose.

I pray it stays that way. For those of you in severe pain, I am sorry to hear of your suffering and hope you find relief. You stated that you've also gotten off muscle relaxers. I'm going to guess you took Baclofen. I've wanted to get off Baclofen for years, but wanted to know your experience. I DO know that no one should ever quit Baclofen 'cold turkey,' and without proper medical supervision. I'm just curious how you went about it and what dosage you were at?, for how long? and what you went through after you quit. I take oral Baclofen 20mg twice a day [so a total of 40mg/deay.] I want to take 0mg per day. Thanks in advance, Don. ____________________________________ From: Todd Daugherty <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > To: quad list <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 1:54 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Pain medication I am probably asking this question more out of ignorance than anything else, but I am wondering why so many of you take these strong medications. I am C6 +20 years and luckily have not experienced any pain and stopped muscle relaxers in the 90's. What is causing your pain? Todd D
