Thanks, peeps! I take a low dose of lorazepam and it's working well for me. I've been taking quinine for nocturnal leg spasms, but you can't get it anymore. Now I'm having more problems with spasticity...the neuro had said maybe a year ago that I could take "something" for it, but it wasn't sufficiently incapacitating that I wanted to add more meds. It's getting bad enough now that I'm going to ask about it my next appointment, but I really don't want to give up the lorazepam if I can help it.

I normally take Ativan first. if the MS hug doesnt go away, and im miserable, I take the baclofen. it makes me dopey and sleepy so I make sure im in bed when I am doing this. Spoke to the MD and he said "go for it." I swear, if i took every pill or needle they wanted me to take I would be in big trouble.

I know the feeling! I take Ativan for vertigo, Meclizine doesn't do a thing for me. I also take Baclofen for spasticity, 40 mgs a day, plus Lyrica for my Fibro. I do get loopy, I take Nuvigil, and Amantidine for the fatigue....It's like taking uppers and downers just to get thru the day, it's crazy!

I have not taken the two of them together. Baclofen was too strong for me as was Valium. So I now take lorazepam (Ativan) every night before bed. It does take away all spasms but it definitely helps calm them down some.
