| 2 | migraines | headache, bad foot cramps at night, decreased inhibition, loss of balance, blurry vision | at first I took full dose (20 mg. 3 times a day) and it made me feel out of it and clumsy but helped migraines stop. At a lower dose (5 to 10 mg. once a day) helps headaches and sleeping but after a week or so I begin to get terrible foot cramps at night and increased headaches when it wore off until I take more. Also blurry vision and loss of inhibition. | F | 63 | 5 months 20 mg. 3X day | 9/13/2012 | 1 | MS spasm in muscles | I would have nightmares and weird dreams and wake up crying.And be off balanced worse then I usually am all the next day ans cry and feel depressed. | F | 49 | 5 months | 9/29/2015 | 1 | Muscle spasm in left side of temple | I have severe nausea confusion and restless nites severe dark circles under my eyes and if I dont consume enough food I vomit the whole day .Terrible meds | F | 66 | 6 months 10 | 12/19/2019 | 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 | progressive MS | swollen feet | It got worse the longer I took Baclofen. At first I thought it was caused by something else. That is the reason I took it for so long. Now I will look for an alternative for the MS spasticity. | F | 50 | 7 months 10 mg 2X day | 6/28/2015 | 4 | MS | None | Don't notice anything happining except my RLS went away I'm thankful for that, would take it for that | M | 69 | 8 months | 2/1/2006 | 5 | Cerebral Palsy | Just mild drowsiness when I first began | F | 26 | 9 months | 8/28/2007 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Back spasms | F | 61 | 0 years 3X day | 5/27/2023 | 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 | 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 | 4 | arm/hand tremors | none | has iliminated tremors temporarily if drug not taken for 2 days severe tremors come back | M | 50 | 1 years | 8/30/2006 | 4 | Low Back Muscle Spasms | None | It worked very well for about a year. Then I seemed to build a tolerance to it and had to switch to Flexeril. When that stops working I'll probably go back to Baclofen | F | 62 | 1.5 years | 1/16/2008 | 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 | 9/3/2009 | 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 | MS | None | Helps relax my muscles and stop spasms | F | 47 | 2 years | 10/18/2004 | 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 |
