My neuro must only use the typical MS drugs. When I came to him I had trid Zanaflex with no luck. He put me on Baclofen for spasticity and to hep sleep. As it got worse (first my bum right leg, but now my left upper body and back) all he does is pump it up and add more Neurontin too. I was still in horroble pain.

I went to the pain specialist who first added Percocet (10/325 4Xday) and he'e helping more than anyone! He wanted to install the Baclofen pump but my insurance company denied it (3 times).

This week I explained that I have never been on any other muscle relaxer. He was astounded. He gave me an rx to try Flexeril (of all the old time meds) and I feel so much better! I hope it lasts but I dont remember Baclofen ever making me feel this relaxed. Plus, I'm not in the awful fog from taking 80 mgs of Baclofen every single day. For some reason Flexeril wakes me up....!

Just my .02 cents!
