Is Baclofen Advisable Over Diazepam For Anxiety Disorders And Muscle Spasms?
You really think I want baclofen? No, no..double no. Changing my Diazepam is used to treat anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal symptoms, or muscle spasms. Diazepam is sometimes used with other medications to treat seizures. Substituting baclofen for diazepam, which is also for muscle and anxiety in combination with opoids appears to be much more dangerous than leaving well enough alone. I will not take baclofen...period. Am I will get my diazepam and opoids. And the US wonders why heroin use has increased. Nothing but discrimination for not having private insurance and the fault of ACA and state regulations on schedule II laws. Why change something that works for me. Why is marijuana allowed in certain states for pain and not others? DISCRIMINATION. May I trash the Premarin. I think that is the problem.
As per my clinical experience, Baclofen is better meant for muscle spasms relief and partial extent in anxiety purpose. Substituting Baclofen against Diazepam is not that rewarding clinically still , you can discuss the same with your treating consultant.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
