Advice/Tips Cost
Aug 20, 2008 This works great for spasticity but may cause breathing problems and severe fatigue. < $25 monthly
Nov 09, 2009 This is a great medication for the treatment of spasticity. However, you should seriously weigh the burden of your spasticity against the burden of increased sleepiness and fatigue. For me, I'd rather have spasticity than miss out on the joys of life because I'm too tired to notice. < $25 monthly

  • Fatigue
  • Muscle weakness
  • Extreme weight gain
  • Dry mouth (xerostomia)
  • Made me wobbly when walking
  • Sleepiness
Advice/Tips Cost
Dec 17, 2008 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! < $25 monthly
