Hey Maria,
Like you say this is not medical advice... I like Baclofen and I a on it now.
Baclofen is an antispastic agent. It essentially upregulates GABA receptors, accentuating an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system--essentially, it calms down the "excitement" in the nervous system and subsequently lessens / blocks muscle spasms.
I don't like Soma. Meprobamate is a metabolite of Soma. This metabolite can lead to withdrawals and has an addictive component to it.
I'm typing this from my phone in the hallway...I gotta run!
I hope you feel better Maria...
