And you're right, I think they think we sit and home and just take drugs all day!

I guess we are all different. I cannot take Flexeril at all, but Baclofen is fine. The first couple weeks were hard to get used to it, but now I'm at 80 mg per day and it doesn't make me dopey at all. I just take it in increments throughout the day with the biggest dose at bed. Even still, I take at least 30 mg during the day and function fine.

It no longer really fully relieves the spasticity, but I function and can deal with it. At least I'm not getting "frozen" in a position anymore!
