Is anyone else taking these? I was just switched from Ditropan to Baclofen. Let me tell you I DO NOT Miss the side effects of the former- they were just killer...
Thanks

I currently take Baclofen along with Percocet and ditropan xl. The baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant and the ditropan is a anticholinergic which relaxes the smooth muscle of the bladder and decreases spasms, thus helping with the frequency urges. I have had great success with the baclofen. I take 20mg 3 times per day, and can definitely tell the difference if I miss a dose.

What is the Baclofen for? and What side efects did you have from the Ditropan..... I take Ditropan XL and it helps me but maybe too much.. Sometimes I sit and know I have to pee but it take s awhile for it to come out. I also have dry mouth and eyes from the Ditropan....... Is it worth switching? iS it cheaper.. Ditropan is $30 a month for 30 and I take one a day! Thanks for sharing.

I just started Baclofen and had to stop it cause it was not mixing well with my heart meds. I think it lowered my BP way to much. I could not even work, but I tried Flexeral and that has helped major.
