this is causing me too much pain to fill out because it keeps resetting. the first time i was well over 1100 characters both my shoulders need replacing and all these quacks will give me is this kind of crap that doesn't work with my hands tripping out and my mind going crazy. I'm can't shut up talking to any one else and i do a good job of talking to myself. i spent almost 8 years taking 120 soma and 120 norco a month for shoulder pain from rotator and 2 bycep tendons repaired. at least i could stay calm and keep my mouth shut without my arms jumping all over the place and my hands dropping things! AND I WAS PLAYING GOLF TWO OR THREE TIMES WEEK!!! i could drive my truck and stay on the road too! I sold my clubs because i can't swing one now without yelling a whole lot more than "fore" and i am all over the road when i drive. i haven't taken BACLOFEN very long but, i feel like i'm going to hurt myself or someone else because i'm out there when i take all of these fabricated drugs that seem to do everything except make me better. WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD PUT OUR FOOT DOWN AND TAKE CHARGE OF OUR HEALTH AND BE ABLE TO TAKE MEDICATIONS THAT ACTUALLY WORK!!!

I have rare incurable neuro disorder:Cervical Dystonia. Baclofen 10mg x 1 or 2 tabs 3 times daily wasn't helping control constant neck muscle spasms so asked pain mgmt MD to increase dosage. MD complied upped to 1 or 2 20mg 3 times daily. Instruction from PA was to double my current 10mg prescription until she could make sure pharmacy would fill new script with old 10mg script not yet eligible for refill. I DID double old 10mgs (4 each, 3x daily) and when I got new 20mg script I continued to "double" as I had with the 10mg. I was then taking 240mgs per day! Even with doubling the 10mgs I was still taking 120mgs daily; maint doses are normally up to 80mg daily, but I'm sure there must be guidelines in place to allow higher dosages. My pharmacist of many years didn't flag the 20mg prescription (she's called me at home before with questions, explanations and other things). For two days I doubled up on 10mgs, then DOUBLED UP on the 20mgs (1200mgs in all)! I developed insomnia, only able to sleep avg 20 min pockets of time and became MANIC and delusional. All this from Dec 20 thru 25th, when I finally collapsed from exhaustion from insomnia and manic behavior practically 23-24 hours per day. I haven't call MD yet due to Christmas week office was closed. I'm now taking the 120mg dosage and the only new symptoms I have are feeling stiff body movements, loss of strength, muscle weakness, feeling anxious & worried that I could have a gastric bleed-out, etc. I was in such intense pain from my CD, I also took WAY over ibuprofen, the otc NSAID recommended dosage. Afraid to get medically checked out. What do you guys think? Have you heard of anyone dying from something like this?

I take 40 mg, only at night. It has made my spinal injury, fibromyalgia and TMJ much easier to live with. The muscle tightness is gone and I sleep much better. I function fine in the day, except for the one time I took 1 tablet in the daytime. I was not safe driving and my husband took over after 2 blocks. Baclofen has greatly improved my life.

Since taking baclofen I have noticed a major change in my muscle tightness. Although I suffer from a few sight effects including tiredness and naseau. They are not as bad as me not being on this drug. I take 10 mg. a day, three times a day. I'm not bother by this because of the result of the baclofen. I recommend baclofen to anyone with muscle admoralities because it really can help.
