Is it Lioresal the medicine (baclofen) that you are taking?? My mother was on it for few weeks and also had similar difficulties plus heavy diarrhea . Her neurologist then replaced it with Sirdalud which is Tizanidine. it works for her and ever since she has no problems with stomach anymore.. Sorry I cant help more this is all from experience..

Best wishes
Alma

Hi audrey12664.
What dystonia have you been diagnosed with?
What dose of baclofen are you currently taking?
I am taking 40mg baclofen and 7mg trihexyphenidyl(benzhexol)a day. I do get some problems swallowing and an upset stomach but nothing too bad and drugs are helping my Meig's!!!.Its just frustrating having to increase doses at a slow rate.
