I can't do the patches because I can't have them touch my skin. I use baclofen because I am either allergic to or have used everything else. I don't sleep, spasms suck. Nothing seems to help much except for the Epsom salt bath for me and I use the lavender for calming effect. because usually by the time I get the my whole body has gone into spasms and my husband is trying to get me in the bath. I guess what I am trying to say is it just goes by what your body can handle, I am one of those that is allergic to everything so I am a pain in the hinny to treat. Good luck to all of us. And God Bless anyone that hasn't found us yet.
