Baclofen

I am using Baclofen. I take less than you. I take 5 mg at lunch time and 10 mg at bedtime. I am also taking Nortriptyline 40 mg at dinner and 50 mg at bedtime. Use Magnesium Calm at bedtime too. Getting better sleep most nights. The medications are no match when you have a virus. Nothing seems to work then. I have taken an extra 5 mg in the afternoon if I've done a chore in the morning and then have to do something more with my Husband. It has helped get through the task.

I am very tired in the morning. Sometimes I get up with my Husband and say goodbye when he goes to work. Sometimes he leaves me as I am in a deep sleep.

Do ask your Doctor if more would help better. Do you take Magnesium supplements? Read that it is good if you take the bulk of your magnesium an hour before bed.

Have you thought about changing your muscle relaxer? I take tizandine 2mg three times a day as needed. It will put you to sleep at night. I only use it at night. I don't like to be drug tired feeling in the day time. I think tizandine is stronger then baclofen.

Mojave: Thank you for all the information I appreciate it. When I think about what all this stuff does to our brains it freaks me out but we have to do what enables us to function. My niece has been diagnosed and I don't envy her the journey she'll be on to get relief. Trial and error of the drugs.

I'm sorry to hear that.
I hope you keep moving in spite of the pain. It really does help.
My doctor said lots of research is going on - hopefully in time for us - there'll be some REAL help.
