Well, this is what I have learned and my experience . . .

Baclofen did nothing for me and gave me that hung over feeling all the time. As others have stated, Baclofen doesn't work for nerve pain.

I have been on Neurontin for 8 years now and it works great for nerve pain. Because it slows down the nerve pulses, it does help with spasticity too - however, not like muscle relaxers, but it helps. When the spasms get real bad, I take Ativan (valium is too strong for me, Flexeril gives me a bad headache, and Soma doesn't do anything).

The week I tried Baclofen, I was also taking Neurontin so you can take both of them together.
