Today we gave in. At three years old, we have finally decided to start Baclofen, given orally. We gave the first dose of 2.5 (1/4) tablet dissolved I water and this will be the dosage for the first week. The second week, we will go up to two dosages per day. Her doctor say that it should help with:
-pain and spasms while sleeping due to spasticity.
-Better muscle control
-Maybe sit better.
I will document all about our journey with Baclofen.
Stay tuned....
Update#2- two weeks into Baclofen
Dosage- morning and night 2.5 each time.
Changes- very slight changes, legs re less stiff, slight changes in sleep pattern, no longer complains about pain at night.
Final update- Baclofen did not work! The side effects were awful (weakness all over her body) moving on to SDR... No matter if the rehab doctor thinks it will not work.
