| 3 | DJD, back pain | Ears ring really bad. Loopy, cranky, depressed. | F | 63 | 2 months 10 | 3/9/2017 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 3 | Pulled muscle | Sleep paralysis Nightmares death lady in black coming to my bed | F | 50 | 1 days Ten 3 time | 6/9/2016 | 1 | just for a pulled muscle 😕 | Bad dreams...feeling if fear..sleep paralysis..hard sleeping...drunk like...long sleeping | Something aint right yall...why my doc give me this for a pulled muscle...reading what you all day...this is minor...couldn't she have just given me a muscle relaxer? Well..I took it anyway..yes it kicked out pain in muscle first day..but..things got scary..This stuff is messing with my head..Im dreaming crazy stuff..horrific stuff...waking up scared..dreaming about dreaming..sleeping so hard that..my body, hurts when I awake...and it promotes sleep...and I sleep and have drowsinesses throughout the day...only 4 days and I totally stopped taking it...and Im still dreaming and having hard sleep paralysis.This stuff is from satan...somebody tell me what's up...I cannot take this drug..and when I asked my doctor if it causes drowsiness..she said no! How could she not know this? | F | 34 | 4 days 10mg | 4/28/2016 | 4 | L2 L3 nerve pain and ipsoas pain | Great until today. Causes very entertaining vivid dreams until you get a not so entertaining one (anxiety). Usually puts me right to sleep but today I had a steroid shot in my spine as well as an anesthetic shot in each ipsoas muscle. Must be interacting with the Baclofen. Zooming thoughts, facebook rants (oh well). Bad headache. | Only take Baclofen when I twerk my extruded disc fragment into my nerve and I'm waiting for an appointment to get a steroid shot so I don't have any long term use issues. After I stop taking them, I do feel flu-like and exhausted. | F | 61 | 4 days 20 | 3/2/2016 | 4 | Back pain | Makes me really sleepy | Love it | F | 31 | 4 days 20mg | 2/15/2016 | 2 | Lower back pain | Side effects include increased heart rate, significant tiredness, especially after the 2nd pill daily. | Did not improve the lower back pain after 6 days. Will ask the doctor to switch to another medication. | F | 58 | 6 days 10 mg | 1/18/2016 | 1 | Car accident/tight muscles/Muscle | Couldn't stay away when I first took them. Slurred speech, crazy thoughts, emotional, crying, anxiousness....Overall I wouldn't recommend it | I wouldn't recommend to anyone with anxiety issues. Did relieve back pain!! | F | 26 | 2 days Twice dail | 12/31/2015 | 1 | Multiple Sclerosis spacicity | Retention of water in ankles and feet after 4 years. Became severe. Could not walk more than a few feet at a time and was very painful. Saw 5 specialists. None thought it was the medicby presenting evidence . 30 days later I have recovered greatly and realize it was the baclofen. | Be your own advocate!! Research. Be heard. | F | 58 | 5 years 30 mg 3X day | 12/18/2015 | 3 | spacticity | Definitely helped with tight muscles | Anybody with anxiety issues this would work well. | F | 55 | 6 days 20mg | 11/11/2015 | 1 | Neck pain | This drug sent my dad to hospital.

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 |
