Thanks for this, it covers issues that I have been asking my doctor about for some time.
The Baclofen connection is of particular interest. About eight years ago nothing was helping and I was a mess. I asked my MD for something to alleviate the build up of muscle tension--Baclofen.
By day two I went into remission of all symptoms--no side effects--nada. Couldn't believe my luck....BUT........after six weeks the level of sedation was extreme and I had to discontinue. I asked the Prof who was treating me to investigate, but he wasn't interested, so I decided to look into it myself, which is onerous for someone with ADD inatentive, which is when I realized I was suffering from ADD as the Baclofen stimulant connection was made.
Anytime I switch medication, I can avoid the low periods between washout and reintroduction by using Baclofen for short periods
Thanks once again, I will give it a good read and discuss it with my doc!
