Advice & Tips
I just started Baclofin yesterday. It was precribed due to my leg and foot pain. It is taken at night. I am taking .5mg. When I awoke this am, my legs felt much better and most of the pain had lessened. Plus, I slept the best that I have had in over 1 year.

Advice & Tips
It didn't work for me. It was another medicine in a cocktail of medicines, none of which I fancy but all the others seem to help in a small way.
