Baclofen and Rivotril andPLS

[Guest guest]

I am wondering if Baclofen or Rivoltril has helped anyone here!! When

my symptoms began markedly increased 7 years ago, I was prescribed

Rivotril (diazepam). this helped my anxiety for my fear of falling

immensely and helped me to walk better. It still does. 2 years ago

in addition to my walking problems my speech became slurred. I have

found this to be exaggerated even more after taking Rivotril. ALso

found that i didnt have strength of speech and began to have problems

swallowing food. Just recently my neuro prescribed Baclofen and have

found that it has givem me back my speech in that i have strength in

my voice again. People can now understand me. I still have the

slurring but not as bad. Also i dont have the swallowing problems

anymore. I can now take more Rivotril to help with the walking

because of the Baclofen.

So would like to hear whether anyone else has had success with these

medications.

I await your responses.
