| 5 | Back spasms | F | 61 | 0 years 3X day | 5/27/2023 | 5 | Compression fractures | Helped me breathe as back spasms stopped. | Doctor says only take 10mg bid for possible new lower back fracture. I was on 20mg bid but ended up taking 20mg tid. Dr says he hates baclofen but I've tried other antispasmodics that didn't work at all. Dr says it's causing all over swelling last time, gone currently and now he states it is cause of sliding down 3 steps. It's not! I slipped. Pain was already there 5 days before. I'm disappointed | F | 56 | 0 days 3X day | 3/17/2022 | 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 30 mg 1X day | 2/19/2022 | 5 | Gastroparesis | I can not tell I took anything. | This medication allows my stomach to relax and I can eat food again after not eating for seven months. Happy to leave a review and hope it helps someone else like it has me. | F | 51 | 2 months 10 2X day | 7/19/2021 | 5 | Nystagmus | I have not had any side effects | I got nystagmus from non alcoholic werniicke encephalopathy after gastro sleeve surgery. Baclofen slows down my nystagmus but don't get rid of it. But slower makes me happy. | F | 47 | 5 years 20mg 4X day | 7/9/2021 | 5 | Alcoholism and anxiety | Drowsiness at first but the pros outweigh the cons. | My anxiety and cravings for alcohol are diminished. I am glad I found this drug | F | 48 | 30 days 60 3X day | 8/18/2020 | 5 | Anxiety | Difficulty concentrating. Later in the evening drowsiness, burping. Sometime really chatty | Improves my mood and reduces my anxiety. But I keep having to increase my dose. I stopped taking it twice to see how I was. I suggest coming off this drug really, really slowly. As others have said, it felt as bad, maybe worse than coming off valium. But worth it as it's helped my life | F | 47 | 1 years 75-100mg 1X day | 8/15/2020 | 5 | MS & Alcoholism | I'm okay as I am desensitized from Horror movies so Baclofen nightmares are like watching a horror movie every night I sleep. Sometimes I wake up and still feel the dream is going on, however I snap out of it and realise. Wow..another creepy horror movie is over. It's a trip.. | It's better than Campral by far.. 100 times better..Its a cure for me. I don't crave alcohol and I can always up the dosage of need be. I've also had MS for 17 years so this really is a cure for two serious diseases..legs feel loose and I'm walking well not restless leg syndrome anymore..i researched this extensively and a third benefit is my anxiety has dropped significantly as well..i feel chilled out..miracle! | 43 | 2 months 10mg x 2 | 5/31/2020 | 5 | Alcohol anxiety | no Real side effects, haven’t felt like a drink this drug blocks the urge or feeling like alcohol. Has fixed anxiety, feel fantastic | M | 40 | 1 months 10mg | 4/1/2020 | 5 | Muscle spasms due to back injury | None | Great drug- prevents muscle spasms in back & legs! | F | 66 | 15 years 10 3X day | 11/30/2019 | 5 | Muscle spasms | No side effects at all. Helps stop my legs from going crazy all day long. I would never be able to get through a day without it. | F | 54 | 10 years 10 6X day | 1/17/2019 | 5 | Spasticity after spinalchord injury | Tiredness as I am in a high dose | I have not had any of the side effects that others have discribed. Makes a huge difference to me as my legs do not spasm and I can go about my daily life somewhat normally | F | 23 | 3 years 30mgx4 | 5/9/2017 | 5 | MS | I take 5 milligrams of Baclofen 4 times a day and notice no side effects. I used to take 10 milligrams in the morning and 5 milligrams at night but it made me too loopy. I have since changed it to 5 milligrams 4x a day (9,1,5,9) and noticed a huge difference. I no longer feel loopy and the pain is gone in my calves. | F | 45 | 2 years | 2/5/2017 | 5 | Spacticity from Multiple Sclerosis | no side effects, not drowsy or limp | I am able to function fully and do not "feel" the baclofen in my system No drugged feeling what so ever. I can drive, talk, walk, think, cook, write, do chores because of it. Having spastic muscles is quite debilitating, you cant move. It is as if my body is frozen or drying stone with out it. But Baclofen gently releases that and allows free movement without any heavy feeling what so ever. | F | 50 | 12 months 10 3X day | 10/5/2016 | 5 | For muscle disease | My body trembles constantly inside like my cells are jumping within their selves I fall off to sleep I can't make a fist I can't hold my cell phone exchange or anything in my hands I have to lean on something to prop up what I'm trying to hold | It works great as far as taking away my pain I'm left feeling like a zombie | F | 59 | 1 months 20 | 6/12/2016 | 5 | Spasm reduced mobility | No side effects but know when i need my next doze balance goes speech slurs | This medication has been the best for me its reduced stabilizes my postural tremor reduced neuropathic pain helps my balance improves my slurred speech stick with the tiredness your body adjusts after 3 weeks i could never go back to tge suffering i had without these meds they do wear off i just take my next dose | F | 51 | 1 years | 8/22/2015 | 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 20 mg 3X day | 4/22/2015 | 5 | Pain | At first I slept a lot! That subsided after about two weeks. | Dosage 10mg x 5 per day. | F | 68 | 2 years | 11/11/2014 | 5 | Fibrmyalgia, ruptured and torn disc | none that I can tell | Its a lifesaver we started slow with one a night now I'm taking 10mg 11/2 tabs 3 times a day, 2 at bedtime and one as needed, I don't know what I would do without it, for breakthrough pain I have valium but I ran out of baclofen before and it was hell. | F | 47 | 15 years 10mg 5X day | 9/26/2014 | 5 | muscle spasms after spinal fusion | Sleepiness | F | 51 | 1 months 10 | 8/11/2014 |
