"I have all over arthritis and restless legs. Restless legs make the pain of my arthritis in my hips and lower joints worse because of the need to move all the time. 10 mg Baclofen and I sleep like a baby, it relieves my restless legs and I feel refreshed when I wake up. Try not to take them all the time so that my body does not get used to the dose, but in times of desperation and days of no sleep, it is wonderful."

"Have MS and sometimes legs feel like I gotta itch, then leg twitches... have difficulty walking already, but I don’t actually acknowledge benefits being that twitching happens rarely. I have noticed it makes my mouth severely dry at night, and my gums bleed daily when I brush my teeth. I read online that medication causes dry mouth, which in turn causes gum disease. Some days I take medication and get severely tired 20 minutes after taking it."

"I was prescribed Baclofen 5 years ago for BFS and chronic fatigue. Helped a great deal with the fatigue, but didn't stop the fasciculations in my legs and feet. I'm still taking 5 mg, three or four times a day."
