Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you experienced after receiving baclofen. It would be very unlikely that this drug caused any long term brain injuries. However, it would be difficult to tell right now as it is not a common phenomenon and there is no real documentation on this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
