In the six weeks that I have been taking baclofen, my anxiety has been higher than normal. Now that may just be coincidence. I certainly hope so! However, I discovered a paper by Dr Olivier Ameisen, as follows:
http://alcalc.oxfordjournals.org/cgi...t/agm058v1.pdf
In this paper, Dr Ameisen cites research showing that lack of anxiolytic activity and even anxiogenic actions have been reported for baclofen. Now, although I knew that anxiolytics reduce anxiety, I had to check the meaning of 'anxiogenic' and it transpires that an anxiogenic substance causes anxiety.
So, my question is - for those on MWO who are taking baclofen, have any of you experienced an increase in anxiety that could be attributed to the baclofen?
Thanks in advance.
