I was on gapapentin (neurontin) with my first neuro. My current neuro started me on baclofen when spasticity reared it's ugly head...did zero for me.

Then he prescribed the generic of zanaflex (tablets). Again did zero for me. In his experience, when baclofen and the gen of zanaflex doesn't work, he prescribes the capsule form of zanaflex.
He tells me to use gabapentin when I have to go on a requip holiday (a drug for restless leg syndrome). Otherwise I stay away from it. you need to wean off of it gradually and not stop cold turkey. It didn't really help any with the neuropathic pain I experience.

Hope you find some relief...I heard that TN can be a bear to live with...:hug:

Great to find this site. Have had MS 6 yrs, most symptoms have subsided the past 2 years.

New spasticity pain the last 2 months that are so server I can't dress myself (I had to call my 8 year old to come to my job to help me retie my shoes just now). Thought I was doing something wrong with meds, work, sleep. My dr says it arthritis sent me for PT, Chiropractor -- both have been extremely helpful but explain it something else.

MRI found nothing new (running joke here)

Dr put me on Bacolfen -- 0. I have a dr appointment Wed because the pain is keeping from walking more than 10 yards. This site will help
