Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Baclofen drug may not cause weakness in the legs, but side effects may vary from person to person. An abrupt stoppage of the drug may lead to muscle weakness and rhabdomyolysis.
If you are feeling allergic to above drug, then please consult your physician so that he will examine and treat you with the alternative medicine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
