| 5 | Degenerative Disks, Pain, & Spasms | I don't remember. | F | 35 | 6 years 50 MG | 6/22/2012 | 5 | to control muscle spasms | Drowsy, and a Chilled body temp. After taking flexeril and zanafex with no marked improvements this has been a wonder drug. Only more effective than baclofen is soma 350mg, however I live in a state where there is a bad drug problem, and have been unable to obtain prescription. | F | 35 | 10 weeks 30mgx 3 | 7/5/2014 | 4 | Bladder spasms | Helped tremendously with my flow of urine. I had a weak stream due to spasms and chronic IC. My only concern is that the effects may be waning somewhat but overall has helped a great deal. | F | 35 | 1 months 10mg x 3 | 9/4/2012 | 5 | Headaches, Back surgery | None, Except Pain Relief! | After taking soma for about 5 years, and never getting relief my. I found a new doctor and she switched me to Baclofen and it started working right away on everything! WOW....what a relief!!! | F | 36 | 1.5 weeks | 10/16/2009 | 4 | MS | No side effects that I know of and ive been on these for 7 months. Makes me sleep better and helps my muscles I think | F | 36 | 7 months 20mg 1X day | 9/27/2020 | 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 | 2/17/2018 | 1 | back spasms | I haven't slept in 3 days it gives me horrible shakes if I don't take it I go through withdrawals I feel emotional vivid dreams I wake up not being able to breathe and I start coughing I can't sleep. I can't stop taking the medication because I go through horrible muscle spasms | F | 36 | 4 months 80 mg | 4/8/2015 | 1 | Nerve Damage | The first night I took 10mg I woke up and was seeing gigantic bugs crawling every where the drug did not do anything for my pain or muscle spasms. | M | 36 | 1 times | 10/24/2004 | 5 | MS | None | Works great for muscle spasms. Before I started the medication, I could not stretch my legs without cramps but now I never get them. If I miss a dose I notice cramping in my legs within hours. This med is a life saver. | F | 37 | 10 months | 7/24/2008 | 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 | 3 | back spasms | worked somewhat well but after a few days i started having sever heartburn. Discontinued use. | M | 39 | 5 days | 3/22/2004 | 5 | neck and back pain, alcoholism | headache and nausea if taken on an empty stomach | I am an addict and alcoholic, this drug works good to eliminate cravings. I did get serious withdrawl symtoms when quiting cold turkey. I take 100mgs a day. It works well for anxiety too. I also have chronic neck and back pain, it helps take the edge off. | F | 40 | 5 years | 11/3/2007 | 5 | back muscle spasm | at first it made me drowsy but after about a week I was fine. | F | 40 | 5 months | 5/14/2009 | 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 | Left leg muscle jerks/spasms | Initially I was very tired and almost stopped taking it after a few days because of this. I then started taking half the recommended dose and ramped up from there over a couple of weeks and the drowsiness was much more tolerable. I still get tired, but not nearly as bad as during the first couple of weeks I was on it. | I love this drug - it has given me my life back! My severe leg spasms/jerks have mostly cleared up now. It seems like it took a good month to get the full benefit of being on the drug, so stay with it if you have muscle spasms/jerks and have been put on Baclofen. | F | 41 | 45 days | 2/22/2009 | 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 | 12/8/2009 | 1 | stroke | Sick at the stomache | F | 41 | 2 years 10mg | 8/29/2015 | 5 | spasticity, multiple sclerosis | drowsiness which diminished. No other adverse effects. | LOVE IT, LOVE IT. I had been OD'ing on Zanaflex with no relief. Baclofen has been a GODSEND. No effects and gives great relief from the spasms/spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis. | F | 42 | 2 months | 6/24/2008 | 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 | 3/7/2013 | 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 |
