I have severe spasms as my main symptom…I was taking 20 mg of baclofen 4 times/day and the med would wear off way before the next dose was due.
My neuro broke it down a bit-I take about 90 mg per day, but low dose every 2 1/2 hours so that it's in my system more consistently. I still get the "ouch" before the next dose is due, but not as much. My neuro says that baclofen is a med that can be taken at high doses, but as he explained to DH and me, "I'd rather your legs were al dente then wet noodles"… ![]() I HATE the pain from spasms-it's making recuperation from knee replacement surgery so much more difficult, because my hamstrings and quads are so darn tight. I hope that maybe your doctor can level your dose of muscle relaxant to ease the intensity of the spasticity... ![]()
