Has Less side effects 11/03/05
Reviewed by:
Patong, Phuket,, Thailand
I have tried many muscle relaxers and have found that Baclofen gives me the best sleep and I am not "groggy" the next day. My pain DR says that he has found that it has helped others although he never prescribed it to me. Found it by accident. Ron
