Sarah, I think he is going to try zanflex.. You need to be careful when stopping baclofen. Tapering down is recommended if you take it everyday. It can cause all kinds of serious withdrawal problems ( including seizures) if you suddenly stop. I have never been too sure if it helps me at all. I have had stiffness and pain ever since my first flare. Some days are worse than others. Mine has been gradually getting worse so that is why I want to try a different medication. My spasticity is generally better in the mornings, and by evening it is pretty bad. Weirdly enough when I am laying down it rarely bothers me.
