Baclofen

Hi there. I was wandering if anyone has any experience of taking taking Baclofen? If so, what do you take it for? Has it helped? Side effects? Etc. I currently get what I would describe as achy/restless legs in the evening and my whole body aches most of the time like I have done a real tough work out a few days before. My Ms nurse suggested taking Baclofen to relax my muscles as they feel it’s more spasms however I’m scared to start something too soon. Any advice I would be very grateful for. Thank you x

@AmyP I weaned myself off Baclofen through exercise. Stretching is good as well. I tried Baclofen for a while but found it had little effect. You may find you have to go through a process of elimination, finding what works for you. Do I still have spasms in my legs, yes, but it is now and then and they only last, at the most, half an hour, and they happen in the evening. You might like to try taking normal painkillers in the evening (Ibuprofen and paracetamol) for a couple of nights and see if that has any effect.
