Advice & Tips
It gave me sudden periods of intense sleepiness. I was unsafe driving and twice needed the wake up bumps on the side of the road to make it home from work in the afternoon/early evening after taking baclofen the night before. The drowsiness hit in waves from mid morning on through the day, and baclofen was the only change in my meds/routine.

Advice & Tips
I'm not sure that this drug is helping me at all, my spasms are becoming more frequent and less tolerable but I am also new to this experience and I am told that the heat may affect me so I will keep taking it until I know it doesn't work.
