Tizanidine or Baclofen

Hi all Is there anybody who has tried both of these drugs to help with spasms (I dont mean at the same time!) I have been on Baclofen for months, my balance is all over the show and very sleepy, dont know if thats worsening of symptoms or the Baclofen? Am trying Tyzanidine, will let you know Lou

I took baclofen couple of years back it stopped the spasms instantly. I am now taking Tizanidine instead, same effect no spasms. Still trying to find right dosage to help with spasticity

I made the mistake of reading the leaflet on Baclofen - addictive, possibility of hallucinations with withdrawal - and never tried it. NHS won’t give me anything else as I’ve not tried this. I work from home and “Elvis leg” is normally only a problem getting in /out of bed or with sicjs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
