i ask  the doctor point blank  if the baclofen could be the source of my
problems. he could/should have looked at the PDR, he did not take the time.
i did and when i saw the list i fired his a** and looked for a more
competant dr. i am the boss, the doctor is the employee. some of them think
they are God and have to be put in their place.

Ken,

    One time I took an anti-depressant of the Prozac class and began
bleeding
from my behind(to put it in demure terms). The doc sent me for a complete GI
work up and I was going to have a whole bunch of GI procedures. I found out
in time this was a common side effect of the medicine. I canceled all the GI
tests and quit taking the med.
