does anyone here have any experience with gradually reducing the amount of baclofen one takes?my doc decided it quit working for me. so far we've reduced it from 100 mg to70. now i'm having extreme pain on my left side. my insides feel like writhing snakes, and sometimes my skin gets itchy. only relief is sleep. is this withdrawal?

Had the same feeling when my pump acted up. Sounds like your coming off to fast!
