Are Hallucinations And Nightmares Side Effects Of Baclofen?

hi doc, i am very worried about my daughter taking baclofen. Lately she has been getting nightmares and seeing strangers in her sleep. She is stated that when the man in her nightmares arrived here in her room, she cannot move. she cannot talk, she cannot do anything to resist the man. Is this a normal reaction of baclofen? She is crying while she is telling me the story of what happend in her nightmares because she is half awake, and half asleep. Please advice me what to do. Thank you very much.
