I am now down to 20 mg of baclofen. Spasticity got pretty bad at the end of last week, but now it seems to be back to its normal level. Neuro will not prescribe anything else until I am completely off the baclofen. About one more week to go. I have also been experiencing hot flashes and cold chills and some nausea and dizziness. That too seems to be subsiding.

barb how much were you on of baclofen?! The most my dr had increased me to is 5 a day... so 50mg I think... two in morning one afternoon and two in evening.... once when talked about stiffness and pain flairing up and if should go up again.. he said more than that will have no help and more side effects...hmmmm

anyhow... I have slowly decreased to 3 a day... and still feel same... stiff and pain sometimes and less other times... but not worse... so thinking that the baclofen at first cleared the stiff morning stuff and then eventually when getting more troubles baclofen may not have done a thing... gotta call dr too... as if not doing much for me I do want to consider weaning off and seeing....
hugsss and good luck on the zanaflex.. hugs,sarah

and with going down to 30 instead of 50 I have not felt any different.. like side effects or withdrawal stuff... but am being careful.. I would not go down to nothing till I discuss it and wean slowly too...
