:::cringe:::i was on 350mg of Soma. they just changed me to 10mg of Baclofen. it's crawling all over me.
I have almost 4 full bottles of that crap in my cabinet......ditch it!!!
Baclofen? never heard of it.. Im sorry to hear that though
it's just crawling all over me, mostly. i guess it did help a little bit. i can move a little easier. i was out on the torch all day and i got cramped up. i'm not as achy as i was.

Balocfen is very specifically prescribed for muscle spacticity...I've only known it to be prescribed to MS patients however.Baclofen? never heard of it.. Im sorry to hear that though
Just food for thought FDD..don't know if the prescribing doctor clued you in on this.

My bad...did a little reading prior to the link.
Just be careful with that stuff.
I hope you don't learn to like it. If you do end up finding it useful, you have to wean yourself off of it prior to stopping altogether.
It's been so long since I've taken the stuff.
I'm pretty sure it was because I felt just the way you described it.
And if your doctor suggests upping the dosage, be prepared to sleep---another reason I stopped taking it.
I'm pretty sure I'm better off with the trainwreck.

my dad is prescribed baclofen, he's a paraplegic and he takes it to help with spasms and stuff (coupled with oxycocet). i take them every now and then...they dont seem to have any negative effect on me. he takes them like candy lol. sometimes like 12+ pills a day. they dont give him any negative effects either...so maybe its just not the right pill for you.
i don't really do well with any of this stuff. it all just makes me feel a little "off".

i liked em too.

confused
they give my dad those for his leg spasms caused by degenerative disk disease, but he says that they dont really help..... I however take one of them occasionally for my back spasms and it seems to work better than flexeril, and without the inebriation of soma's... but somas work the best for me..... good luck with it all man... i dont really trust doctors
