| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR BACLOFEN | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | Low back spasms | Some tiredness and left inner ear twitching/jumping | I really hope the inner ear twitching/jumping goes away...it's hard to hear out of left ear. | F | 43 | 2 weeks 10mg | 4/1/2017 | 4 | Fractured hip, herniated disks, | Excessive sweating, some stomach irritability | M | 43 | 3 months | 8/19/2002 | 2 | Muscle spasms, pain | Took 1/2 doses 3 times first day, all okay. Started feeling ill but took it in stride second day. Horrible headache/nausea commenced and continued for two more days. Missed two days of work getting it out of my system/getting back on solid food. I had awful headaches on this med. though it seemd to help my other problems. I was unable to take it. | It is too bad that I had such a reaction to it since it looked so promising. | M | 43 | 2 days | 11/18/2004 | 2 | Migraines | Memory issues; potentially flared plantar fasciitis; increased migraine pain after stopping drug | Did help me sleep but did little for migraine pain it was prescribed for. Possibly caused my plantar fasciitis to flare up while taking the medication. Worst was after stopping baclofen because of memory issues I was having I had MUCH worse migraine pain for THREE WEEKS straight (thus far). | F | 43 | 1 months 5mg 2X day | 6/26/2016 | 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 | 2/11/2007 | 5 | Nerve Pain/Fibromyalgia | None, maybe slight somnolence | M | 44 | 1 months 10 | 5/23/2012 | 4 | Muscle spasms due to probable MS | Drowsiness when I first started taking it, but that diminished over about a month. No side effects at all now. | Worked very well for controlling muscle spasms/spasticity in my legs and in my arms caused by probable MS. Started out with 10 mg twice a day, but have had to gradually increase dosage to 30 mg a day. | F | 44 | 9 months | 4/19/2007 | 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 | 4 | Hiccups | No side effects up to 80 mg daily. Insomnia, GI upset, salty taste with food, and daytime somnolence with doses above that. Sometimes needed 40 to 60 mg four times a day to control bad hiccup flares. | M | 45 | 20 4X day | 5/30/2020 | 2 | dystonia | Sleepiness, increased muscle spasms, urinary urgency | F | 45 | 4 months 3x10mg | 3/27/2014 | 1 | Hip Injury | Insomnia, head and neck pain, nausea, diarrhea, unable to concentrate during the day (could be the lack of sleep), dry mouth. Did not notice improvement to pain. | F | 45 | 3 days 10 1X day | 12/13/2023 | 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 | 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 | 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 | MS | None | Helps relax my muscles and stop spasms | F | 47 | 2 years | 10/18/2004 | 4 | Degen Discs,Failed Back Surgeries | Tiredness, Narcolepsy, Nausea, Rapid Heart Rate while laying down, Emotional Swings, Periodic Insomnia, Urinary Incontinence, Water Retention. | Although it is relieving my pain much better than anything else I've tried, I'm not sure the side effects are worth it. I have only been on Baclofen for 10 days and I will give it at least another 10 to work out the kinks. Hopefully the side effects will abate so I can enjoy the pain relief. | F | 47 | 10 days 10 4X day | 3/2/2017 | 1 | Muscle tightness, spasms in legs | Took at bedtime friday, woke up at NOON on Saturday. Face, hands SWOLLEN, very emotional and literally suicidal. Depressed, cried all day till drug effects wore off, then back to normal. | If you become depressed or suicidal, please stop this drug immediately!!! Get help if you need to until it leaves your system!! | F | 47 | 1 days 10 3X day | 4/27/2013 | 5 | Muscle Spasms from MS | I have had no side effects at all. | This drug has been a life saver for me. It stops the spasms. | F | 48 | 5 years 15 MG 3X day | 11/2/2013 | 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 | 4 | muscle spasms, nerve injury | dizziness | This seems to work better than Flexeril. I take only as neeeded. | F | 48 | 2 days | 8/4/2007 |
