Good post, my twin sistah of a different mother!

I'm on the other side of the coin, with a very high tolerance for side effects and that stuff. I had lots of practice in my younger years with recreational "pursuits". For the most part, I don't have side effects. I watch for them, but nothing happens-USUALLY!

I cannot take flexeril. It leaves me drooling on the couch even at a very low dose, not that that side effect is a bad thing at certain times, like when you have been struggling with pain and agony for a lengthy period of time. I just don't want to be that way every time I take a pill. I have none of the reactions that others report with baclofen. I never did. I even questioned whether it was working, until the first time I tried to skip it completely. It works, and works well for me when I need it to.

The drug companies use a dose that has proved to work well across the spectrum of patients trialed. It does not mean it's the correct dose for everyone and there will always be people with a more noted reaction than others. I think I am just lucky that I am at the tolerant end.
