Baclofen Cortisol

[flamengo]

Hi All,

Does anyone know what relationship Baclofen has to the adrenals / cortisol levels? From what I've read, it seems to increase cortisol levels. This could explain why some people have high anxiety while on it.

Thanks!

Baclofen Cortisol

Bacs can produce sympathetic arousal(tachycardia,sweating,anxiety and associated increase in catecholamines and cortisol esp, if u overdo bac or withdraw from it.)Some people are much more sensitive to such effects.Never suddenly increase dose.U can risk hallucinations and simlar effects lasting 4-8 hours.Also do not stop cold turkey-painful,confusing and deliriuous withdrawals possible.Check with Dr about dosing changes.

I think that is the issue I had. I've gotten better but am wondering if I should get back on it after speaking to my doctor at low doses. Start super slow.
