a side effect of Baclofen is dizziness. (I get that, but it's usually not bad for me)

Why would you be taking valium for your balance? It's an anti-anxiety medicine, but it's also a muscle relaxer. Valium can cause a few problems with balance and also has dizziness as a side effect.

If I were you, I'd go back to the doctor, take a pad of paper with you, or have him or his nurse write out what you're taking and exactly what the medicine is for. That way you know exactly which medication you should be taking for a specific symptom.

I think the only reason I can keep my medications straight is because I've got a family of medical people to tell me which medication is which.

Edit: found a link that has a listing of side effects for valium

Awwww, maybe you are just not completely over the relapse you just had. I'd hate to think you were starting a new one, so soon.

Yes you need to talk to your Doc about your meds and get a good rapport with your Pharmacist. A good Pharma can tell you about all the sides and counter actions of Meds.

Feel better as soon as possible.

I got chilled in pool then fever last tuesday. Wed, Thurs and slightly Fri I had mild vertigo. It's been totally gone since. I take baclofen 20mg 6x/day. I hear baclofen pumps put the med where you need it, not your head. I'd have 1 but transfer from wheelchair to everythng is hard on my back. Gets bumped alot. I'd rather fix the MS though.

Hi CG,
It sounds like you are still in a relapse. Bouncing off walls, dizzy and sick to the tummy is not good. I'd call my Neuro if I was in your situation. I hope you feel better. It's hard when your kids need attention too..and the dog.
