  I was put on 100 mg. Dantrium while I lived in Phoenix beginning in
March of this year. Due to concerns I read about here and from the PDR
coupled with the fact that the drug was not helping me I began
withdrawing from it at the end of April. I did this very slowly. I have
now been off it for two weeks. My spasticity is worse than it ever was.
Anybody know anything about Dantrium withdrawal. My doctor here does not
prescribe it so his knowledge is limited.

I was on Dantrium back in 1985.  When I decided to quit taking it, I noticed
a slight increase in spasms, but eventually the increase dropped off.  I
guess it all depends on how long you were taking it for.  I was on it for
almost 2 years when I quit.
