Baclofen

Hi everyone hope all well.what it is , I'd like to know if anyone has used BACLOFEN for leg spasms and tight muscles the spasms are exausting me as soon as you get comfortable in the evening feet up and then it starts it's like the legs take it in turns one starts and then the other dose and I'm sure all you msers know how exhausting it is, so Im hoping for anyone with success on BACLOFEN to share their experience.🤔👍

I find it very useful- in particular because it has a short half life. ie that means you can take it as and when you need. The only thing is I find it exacerbates my weakness so I don't take it unless my spasms and stiffness are outweighing my weakness. As far as symptomatic treatments for MS go, I think baclofen is one of the best because you don't need to take it daily like gabapentin so there's no issues like tapering off and becoming dependent.

I have been on baclofen for a while. The only time I had an issue is when I first started taking it. You feel like everything is in slo mo. So I couldn't take it and drive. Now I can. It works very good though. At least for me.
