    Baclofen makes me anxious and makes all of my symptoms worse.

    I get prescribed baclofen (20mg x 4 (so 80mg a day)) for extreme twitching at night after going to bed. I also get prescribed diazepam for this during the day. So, I take 10mg diazepam and 20mg baclofen 3 times a day. Then at night before bed i take 20mg baclofen and 20mg temazepam (for sleep). It does help for my twitching. However, I tend to feel very sluggish and very swimy during the day. Is there anything you would recommend I ask my doctor change?
    Thank you.

    Thank you this video is well informed for my gout, which is full body. I have an issue with purine control so I have to cut specific foods out of my diet and I'm currently trying to loose weight for my joint benefits. I have a bulging disc in my L4 L5 and decesitation in my L5 S1. I'm just now taking baclofen and I'll say this is a life changing drug for a 33 year old man who feels 43 taking Flexeril: which I'm allergic by trait being a cousin of Vicodin which I'm also allergic. My stomach no longer hurts no more waking up wretching and hopefully I can sleep tonight

    I got to get this baclofen story out there for good or bad. I hope some medic will tell me this is not unusual. Has any male had the same experience? How do I put this ; I took it for my lower back pain and it helped as well I did feel some sedative like effects. But the flip side is I'm in my 60's and have put my self out to pasture. But this medication also gives me the the most robust hard on I have not had since my younger years. All I can say is "The prodigal son has returned." hallelujah. Seriously though, please tell me if other males have had the same.

      Don't know if this will help as I'm female. Was on baclofen for severe muscle spasms and lost use of my legs. Also had a weird electric current going around my legs/pelvic area and it often felt like arousal so think it can be similar for women too. I had to come off it as it really messed my memory up too. Sensations have stopped. Soz for the essay!

      HOLY SHIT. WOW how are you not dead?? I took 30mg a day a few years ago to help me withdraw from suboxone. I was recently prescribed them for sciatica just took 10mg and thought I would not wake up, my mom had to yell at the top of her lungs to wake me, before I could barely even sleep. I'm not messing with it again. You know that 80mg is the max dose?? You OK there?? Can you read this??

    Hi I've been taking 10mg baclofen every morning for the last 4 years. But im already on cocodamol ibuprofen and pregabalin so im on to much stuff really. What is the best way for me to stop the baclofen 10mg daily please?

  • @frankgysemans8034

    I use baclofen for alcohol retirement. And i must say, it works for 95 %. Started to use it in 2015. A half of 10 mg, set me al sleep an half hour later. Now 2022, ik use 8 x 25 mg, that's 200 mg a day. I take them in once all. Now , ik have regular beer, 5,3 alcohol in my closet, and wine. Its do not make me shit, when it standing there. in some rare times i take 10 x 25 mg. Because it works than 36v hours. than i go 6.5 x 25 a day or 2. And you have to avoid stress. a good advice for anyone for any hoe are struggling with alcohol. And take them at the evening...

    • @jacob96014
      @jacob96014 Před rokem +3

      Not sure if you found out yet but it can slow your heart rate down (hypotension) so its recommended to move slow when changing positions such as: from sitting to standing as this may cause dizziness and prone to fall. When you think of Baclofen think BAC up slowly :) hope this helps future readers!
