For Neuralgia "I have been taking Lioresal (baclofen) 10 mg 3 times per day for 3 days now. The side effects are immense! After 20 minutes, I lose all sense of balance, get a major headache, and need to urinate frequently (which is difficult when lack of balance screws up walking ability!) It knocks me out for hours. Side effects last approximately 6 hours. I have cut down to twice a day now because I can't handle the side effects. The only positive is the pain eases (I have intercostal neuralgia), but not 100% pain relief-maybe 70%. I plan to visit the doctor and get off it as soon as possible."

For Alcohol Withdrawal "At 125 mg, greatly helped reduce the craving but had to lower the dose due to side effects such as sleep apnea and extreme tiredness. Currently at 60 mg. In conclusion, it helped me a lot, but I had severe side effects."
