I use Baclofen but I am reducing it as well. Snoopy and I have the same thoughts when it comes to side effects. It is supposed to make you sleepy not create insomnia. Baclofen is good to reduce spasms (sort of) but a side effect is a weakening of muscles (I think).
re: your sleeping. That may be one of the sx's of MS and not due to any medication. I use Ambien and holistically, watch what I eat later in the day or evening. You would have to figure it out based on your work schedule.
I feel sick and tired all the time too. That is part of my MS.  |
I've decided that I'm gonna talk to my Dr. this week, I'm thinking that I have some form of depression, from the meds.
I'm starting to get anxiety attacks & I can't for the life of me force myself to go to work.
It's a vicious cycle, I don't sleep then as I'm laying in bed I have this internal argument. You're going to work even if you don't sleep. No I can't, yes you can etc. etc.
I do this for a few hours, then I get up & call in sick.
Then I beat myself up about it for the night. It all starts over again the next day.
I've been thinking about this for awhile, but anxiety, anxiousness, depression & mood changes are all side effects of Gabapentin.
What are your thoughts on this??
