Baclofen

Hi, Has anyone found Baclofen useful in improving walking? My legs get very stiff if I'm sitting at a desk for long periods and it's also a struggle climbing up and down stairs. I have been prescribed some Baclofen but want to know if it's likely to work before I start taking it. Cheers Andy

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 ...

Baclofen

Hi all, my doctors want me to start taking Sativex (cannabis, yay) but I have to test Baclofen first (procedures). I have also been told I would feel like shit with Baclofen so as you can imagine, I am not very keen on taking it now (I feel like crap already and dizziness is my second name). My ques...

Baclofen?

I wrote not long ago about having stiffness in my legs while going downstairs. I've reported it to my neurologist just for her information but now she wants to put me on baclofen.

Hi Just wondered how many of you have been prescribed Baclofen? It's been suggested by my MS nurse and I'm going to my GP Friday. I'm in the process of being weaned off Topamax and think I'm being put on Zonegran? (sorry if I've spelt that wrong). In the middle of a mega flare up so am basically jus...

baclofen

Hi guys. Just a quick question. Here's an overview... I have clonus at the moment and it's severe. I'm due to see my neurologist soon who my physio believes will give me baclofen. My GP didn't want to give it to me because it may make many of my other symptoms worse. If I go on this, will I be abl...
