I tried baclofen but not only did it not do much for me it made me irritable, grumpy, and hungover the next day.

Have you tried other muscle relaxants? I have had good luck with lorazepam (Ativan). It doesn't effect me the way Valium did or baclofen. It doesn't knock me out for days or leaving me feeling hungover. I get rectal spasms due to MS in addition to leg spasms and the hug. It works great on the rectal spasms and is the only medication that I have tried that works for them. It also helps my hug so much. It does help my leg spasms but not as effectively as Valium. Of course, Valium knocks me out and I could sleep through anything and for days straight.

Talk to the neuro and see if there is something else you can try. Keep in mind that I think baclofen is one of those meds that you have to taper down off of. I don't think it's one that you can just stop taking.
