I thinking I am no longer going to push for a prescription -- even though I am still annoyed with my insurance company for denying me. Increasing my speed in a 25 foot time walk is not all that important to me. What I want is less spasticity so I can walk for more than five minutes without pain.

I didn't get a lot of results with walking better with less spasticity until I was over 60 mg of Baclofen per day. As long as I'm taking 60 - 80 mg and some Klonipin, my walking is better until I push too far.

Holly, I was on 60 mg of baclfoen and it did not make a bit of difference. So now I am trying tizantidine and I have noticed a slight improvement. I am on a very low dose so I am hoping my neuro will increase it in another week.
