for how long does baclofen work?

Posted by platinumbride on April 23, 2006, at 8:06:48

Just started this for anxiety and am wondering how long it will stay in my body, as my doc has me taking only one tablet /day right now. We increase to 2 in 3 days.

Thanks,

Diane

Interesting. I've never heard of anyone taking baclofen for anxiety before.

Baclofen binds to GABA-B receptors as I understand it.

Some people say its a bit like GHB-So maybe its not to bad!

I guess I am confused:
Everything I read says the drug has a short half life. (Granted, that is for MS). If that is so, I wonder why I am only taking it twice a day/.

Any ideas?

thanks
