Hi! Baclofen is used to treat muscle spasms and is also useful in multiple sclerosis. Your physician is quite right in saying it shouldn't be stopped suddenly as this may precipitate a withdrawal reaction.You haven't mentioned the reason you want to stop it. If it is something urgent like an allergic reaction you need to visit the ER(emergency room) quickly. However if it is anything else I'd suggest you wait till you can get in touch with your doctor. All the best!
