Baclofen made me run into walls, as I didn't have enough eye/body coordination to sense the walls approaching. Several anti-depressants made me more depressed because they slowed almost all functions, as well as increasing spasticity. I take tiny amounts of Klonopin and Propanalol, and these do not slow me much, or interfere much with thinking.
I just started Topiramate. I am a space cadet now. This is on top of long term, low dose clonazepam (klonopin) and the real doo dee doo medication, nabilone (which I've been taking for quite a while now as well to control my pain so I can at least work).

The medication + the disease progression into cognitive disruption is quite a cocktail.
