I don't have tremors but I do have spasms. Mainly in my legs but I've noticed them in my arms lately, too.

I've been taking Baclofen and it seems to help. It does make me tired throughout the day and I do sleep more when I take it.

I've been noticing that my legs will jerk periodically....especially at night but maybe I just notice it more then because I'm still.

I'm not thrilled to be taking the Baclofen but it does seem to be helping. The prescription says to take it 3 times a day but I usually just take it twice. I haven't needed it in the daytime hours but towards evening my legs start getting tense and I know if I don't take it I'l be sorry later.

I was taking Gabapentin when I was first dx with MS but it didn't really help with the spasticity sx and made me gain weight. I no longer take it.
