Baclofen "It literally saved me from neck surgery. I have a disc protrusion that bulges into my spinal cord. I’ve started taking this drug, and the bulge became smaller due to muscle relaxation. I can feel my fingers and have enough power in my arms again. One important thing is the withdrawal process. It takes several months to go down. Otherwise, I get spasms."

"After fighting with doctors for over 20 years that the pain was real and not in my head! Baclofen was my lifesaver. I had been misdiagnosed so many times that you truly do have to know your body and its symptoms, and I found a doctor who listened. This pill saved my life. Start with a very small dosage and increase as stated... No side effects. It gave me my life back! My symptoms started to disappear on the first day on it... SYMPTOMS that have been going on for 20 years. Found my breathing shallow for the first few days, so I scaled back dosage. Now on 20 mgs - 3 times per day. Living again!"

"I was put on this medication and have been on it for about two and a half years. Recently, my moods switched on and off like a light. My temper was out of control. Someone looked at me, and we had a problem. On average, I had high anxiety going on. I put them down and will not go back. I was pushing away everyone. I had ringing in the ears. Continuous sweating... STAY AWAY! Not good!"

"I have taken baclofen for 4 days. I have seen good results so far. My muscle spasms have almost gone away. The only side effect I notice is it makes me very sleepy, and I have long disturbing nightmares."

"With this medicine, I'm not sure if I should even leave my thoughts on it here. But I'm going to anyway. Very weird feeling after my third day. It very well could have been my first time taking this medication. I'll never take anything like this again. Nervous system got out of control. When I was using my phone."

Baclofen "I had a fusion of lower back, and Gablofen the worst drug I have ever taken. Lost a month. Went down the rabbit hole. Alice in Wonderland. Don't take."

Baclofen "This medication, Lioresal, has been a lifesaver for me and my fibromyalgia and DDD. I have had a great experience with the medication, with only one slight side effect: it makes me a bit sleepy. Small price to pay for the fabulous benefits."
