And it was obvious that Baclofen wasn't playing along.

But once I was no longer working I went on it, where my neurologist advised me that it was the best drug available for CNS spasms and keeping my short-term memory in tip top shape was no longer at the top of my list.

That said even though my shrink put me on neuro-protective drugs (Namenda and Razadyne) as soon as I was diagnosed - 4 months into this - eventually the neurocognitive ravages of CRPS overcame whatever barriers we had erected, on account of which the effects of Baclofen became a drop in the bucket, as my memory (along with what few organizations skills I had) got progressively worse over time, while my Baclofen dose remained constant, at 50 mg/day.
