Advice & Tips
i ended up taking 20mg 4x daily for spasticity and clonus. it wasnt enough. I have spasticity throughout my entire body but legs were worst. I relied on some of it to stand or walk, but it didnt help having such stiffness. So now have the pump.
I have a UTI, so some stiffness has returned, but only take 10mg at night.
it will cause fatigue when you first start taking it, but follow your prescription and stay on it, your body will become used to it and you wont have the fatigue.

I felt fatigue at first, just kept taking it as scheduled, and my body got used to it, so fatigue went away
it helps loosen my body up as i have spasticity all over. can definitely tell when i forget a dose, i get stiff all over again.

Advice & Tips
I have no problems taking Baclofen, but am always mindful how it affects my mobility - which is NOT positive!
I find taking a drink of AllCalm before bed much more beneficial for spasms, or restless leg syndrome. It is a Magnesium Citrate drink and works almost straight away! EXCELLENT! It does not affect my mobility.

Advice & Tips
I wouldn't be surprised if this drug was causing some of us to be in a wheelchair - but what do you do with spasms? I find that Magnesium Chelate (All Calm) works wonders! However, you have to boil water and who wants to get out of bed in the middle of the night? Thats when I have to resort to Baclofen!
I you do take this medication just be care full if you are living in a dizzy state to watch to see if it get wores, make sure you talk to your doctor if they get worse.
When I was taking this medication it did work very well why I was on it but the side effects were not any I wanted to live with, I was falling just about every time I was walking. so jsut pay attintion while tacking this medication.
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.
