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.

Advice & Tips
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 only take one at night and one in the morning...but the time I notice most spasticity is when I first get out of bed in the morning...so I feel that it really does not benefit me much. I suppose I could set the alarm for a few hours before I get up and take one in advance?!?!? Whatever.

Advice & Tips
I'm still not sure this is doing much for my spasticity/stiffness. I do know that if I take it too often it makes me really sleepy. I have not really experienced any other side effects that I can think of.
