Taking for pain and spasticity from MS. I got some headaches when starting, but those have diminshed. It does help a lot with the tightness and spasms I had, which makes me more comfortable. Sometimes though, with the lessened spasticity, it seems the nerve pain comes through more intense. Hopefully that can be addressed with my other pain meds adjusted. So far, so good.

It caused me to see things and hear things that were not there. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me, I was afraid and the worst part is that things I saw seemed very real to me. Published: October 14, 2007 ::

If you read my last post the folks that are complainig about pain because of chipped teeth and such. Pretty much the people that are complaining about only are taking them 3 days at a time. Read what the drug treats. PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THIS SITE LOOKING FOR "BUZZ" PILLS SHOULD BE SHOT. One person said they almost died. I hate to assume but chances are they didn't take the drug correctly or sometimes people just reject the drug. This drug has been around a long time the late sixties early seventies and the exact pharmancology of the drug is unknown. People are raiding mom and dads medicine cabinets and thinking they get the same buzz as other drugs are putting themselves in peril. This is a maintainence drug and it takes a while before it works. One guy even compared it to oxycontin and valium.Is it me or is it completly assinine to compare Baclofen with opiates and benzos. I'm no doctor but at least research what it is and does before saying anything. Not to be rude but sometimes I can understand why lions eat their young. Published: March 30, 2008 ::

Prescribed for the cervical myalgia and muscle spasms in my neck associated with migraine; can feel it "melting" the spasms. Side effects minimal at my 5 - 10 mg doses. Very helpful. Published: September 26, 2007 ::

NO MORE TEARS,NO MORE SCREAMS..I now take 20mgs..4xdaily...I may have MS,But it does NOT have ME!!! Published: January 05, 2009 ::

I have been on Baclofen 20mg 3 times a day for approx a month. I was on this drug before about 3 years ago with no side effects. This time I experienced severe swollen feet and ankles predominently the left side. And also my left eye has been swelling up to where it is almost closed shut, and I have also gained weight without changing my diet at all. According to my regular internist he says it is the Baclofen that is causing this. I also take many other meds for pain that I have been on for a number of years, and I have tolerated them with no problem. The hard part is that the Baclofen was helping me with my legs and now I have been taken off of it. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? My neurologist put me on the Baclofen, I have MS and Fibroymyalgia and degenerative disc disease. So for the pain I see a pain doctor. My internest does not like me seeing the pain doctor and wants to blame the pain meds for all of these problems. I am just beyond all of this. Published: March 13, 2009 ::

I am used to taking Oxycontin 40mg, ans Diazapam 10mg. I want to try something else for the spasm's and I tried Baclofen. I took 1 pill in the pm, and another one the following afternoon. I sleeped until 1-2a.m., I woke up to get some water and I was in my kitchen and lost vision, balance, and fell landing hard on the floor breaking 6 bones between both feet, 2 cracked ribs, and chipped 3 teeth. I am a 34 yr old male with no history of falling or broken bones. Adding Baclofen was the only change, so I had to have had an allergic reaction to it. I can only say when starting this med, get up slowly and always brace yourself for a possible fall until you know how the drug will effect you. Published: January 09, 2008 ::
