 5  back spasms The only side effect I noticed was that it elevated my mood considerably. I then did some research and found out that it can do this. I am bipolar so it was very noticeable to me. It works well for the spasms and actually helps with depression to some degree. I take 30 mgs daily M 49 2 days

 5  neck spasms (suboccipitals, scm) Don't take on empty stomach. I take 10 mg every 3-1/2 hours. It is as effective as diazepam (valium), but w/out the drunk feeling. I know it works because if I don’t take it on time- the spasticity really kicks in quickly. I went through a ton of pills before I found this one and it’s the only thing I need. It has improved the quality of my life. M 44 2 months

 5  Muscle spasms (everywhere) Have had no adverse side effects. This medication has been a real Godsend for me,I get muscle spasms (charlie horses) every where, hands feet, legs and arms and back and in my neck! They are extremely painfull, and the muscles will just not release and relax when they spasm. With Baclofen the spasms are completely gone, and for the most part as long as I take it every 8 hours I have no spasms at all! I take 25mg every 8 hours, except at 10 PM at night I take 30mg. It also has helped relieve some of my Chronic Pain! M 58 2 years

 5  Benzodiazepine (Klonopin) withdrawa None really. This medication eased the anxiety and tension caused by withdrawals from Klonopin. I've had 2 fairly significant withdrawal episodes from benzos...once in late 2012 I took Gabapentin which helped. The most recent occurrence was three months ago and the Baclofen really helped. M 39 1 months

 5  Diaphram spasms. Hiccups None. I had severe diaphragm spasms one after the other continuous. On some occasions I would completely lose my breath on odogs I had to sit there for 15 or 20 seconds before I could get a breath down I couldn't even talk to hiccup for so bad it's much more than a hiccup but that's what they refer to that did several test including an endoscope which showed nothing not even a hiatal hernia the doctor said he had never seen anything like that but this is the second time I've had it in five years the first time I think it was allergic reaction to cigars this time I don't know what it was but I tried all kinds of things to alleviate this nothing happened couldn't sleep I couldn't have a conversation with anybody before the hiccups hit Thank God after two months living like this they stopped when I used this medication M 73 5 months

 3  Degenerative disc, stenosis, MS Drowsiness, unsteady balance and more clumsy gait I started on Baclofen to replace Valium, which gave me a hang over. The muscle spasms in my legs would last for hours but have somewhat subsided since I started taking Baclofen. Unfortunately I have developed regular foot cramping in both feet and electric shock sensations in both legs that Baclofen does not seem to help. M 42 10 months
10 mg 3X day

 3  Tinnitus and severe tension Ticks and flinched a lot. Got really speedy on it. Had bizarre bonkers dreams. didn't feel i was myself it worked incredibly for my tinnitus and i actually functioned well for a week, but i felt it had too many side affects and too strong to continue, wish is a shame, so back in bed a lot with anxiety and tinnitus loud. M 41 1 weeks

 3  Muscle spasms It helped with the muscle spasms long enough for me to get to sleep, but the effects didn't carry into the next day. It made me slightly manic, like I'd had way too much coffee, but not enough to be dangerous. I had a doctor tell me not to make major life decisions on this drug, and i see why. The worst of it though it's the vivid, terrifying nightmares where I felt like I was in real danger and woke up screaming. They don't wear off fast either - I couldn't find my phone and remember thinking I'd left it in my dream. I woke up and thought some dream-entity had replaced my sleeping partner. And of course, my partner doesn't sleep well when I wake up screaming. M 31 7 days
10mg 1X day

 3  Thumb/Muscle injury The first few times I took it were fine, it worked and there wasn't anything bad. Then I started having these horrible crashes with very strange side effects, one night I was twitching and woke up with things on my computer I don't remember. That was my cue to stop taking it. You might like it, I personally did not because of the after-effects. It has a horrible crash once the drug wears off. M 36 5 days
20 1X day
