Default Dantrolene anyone?

Jim's neuro is going to have him try Dantrolene. It is a medication for muscle spasms. He will need routine liver checks as it can damage the liver.

If this medication works, she will begin withdrawing him from Baclofen and Tizanadine at our request. She agreed to this because we voiced our concerns about the amount of medication he is on. If only they would pass the medical cannabis bill he wouldn't even need new medication. However, that is hurdle to be addressed another time.

Anyone here try Dantrolene?
