 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 5  Fibromyalgia, Reverse T3 NONE! This medicine has literally been a life saver for me. Though I am starting to see some breakthrough muscle spasms now, I see that others are taking much more than me. Will talk to Doc about increasing, then I think I will be good to go. And believe me when I say it's a lifesaver, I have not taken any drugs for over 20 years, so to take this was a big step for me. And I am very sensitive, so the fact that I did well with it and no side effects is really big. F 53 3 months
10 mgs 3X day

 5  Spinal Cord damage from tumor Was tired in the beginning but that went away in about 2 weeks. Less of an appetite and lost about 5 pounds but that stabilized. This has worked extremely well for my muscle rigidity that was caused by the removal of a spinal cord tumor in 2010. I have less pain and can walk longer distances. Its effect started to diminish after about 2 months and my doctor increased my dose from 10 mg 3 times a day to 20 mg 3 times a day, which he said is the normal dose. I like that I don't gain weight on it and it sure helps me sleep without pain, and go through the day feeling good. F 64 3 months
20 mg 3X day

 5  back spasm after MVA none just 5 mg 3x day relieved pain from a back spasm that no other meds, including narcotics, could. not enough physicians seem to know about this. my PM doc is an expert on off-label uses of drugs in small doses. F 50 3 months
