Would Baclofen Work?

I have constantly felt like i have a lump in my throat for the past 3 years, but there's no real lump. i have anxiety disorders, and that it the cause. my doc prescribed baclofen to relax my throat muscles. should it get rid of my "lump"?

Baclofen seems rather a drastic solution to this problem, has many unpleasant side effects, and could make you feel worse. A good magnesium chloride supplement will help with both anxiety and muscle spasm and is far more gentle to your system.
