I've been prescribed Dantrolene 50mg capsules to manage muscle spasticity from a spinal cord injury. I'm curious if anyone else has used this medication and what results they've seen. I've heard about the potential side effects but I'm hopeful that it will help reduce the stiffness. It’s also a bit concerning to hear that they’re using it for the rare malignant hyperthermia, but my doctor thinks it’s safe for me. What has been your experience?

I've been prescribed Gablofen for managing my spasticity due to a spinal cord injury. I'm curious to hear from others who have used this medication. How has it helped your symptoms? Have you experienced any serious side effects or just the more common ones? I'm particularly interested in hearing about long-term use and any tips for managing the side effects. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
