Starznight- very helpful information actually. Baclofen is the first spasticity med that I've been on. My neuro wasn't too keen on it so he started me on Fampyra (Ampyra) first, but a week into that I had to stop working because my gait got so incredibly bad. So much for it helping my gait. He told me to stop the Fampyra and I asked for Baclofen again and he gave it to me.

I am going to up my dose, I read up on how to do that. My nurse told me not to go up more than 1/2 a pill per day until I meet with my neuro again but they are taking their sweet time on even getting back to me with an appt. So I will do it myself. I'll stop the increasing of the dosage if I get sleepy.

After reading these posts about the pump, I think I'll pass. I didn't realize it could be such a bad experience and how invasive the procedure to place it is!

25yrs ago I was started on 20mg 4x per day for C7 spinal cord injury.
MS 2006 increased spasms, I take 20mg 7x per day now & still get them bad.
Yes i'll get worse then ever spasms if I miss a dose now that my bod adjusted to it & won't sleep well.
Circulation or lack-of has something to do with spasms says me. Oxygen reduced mine a tad using oxygen concentrator at night. I'd love for someone with oxygen to try it and report results.

I take 20mg at night and it helps my spasticity. I can't take it during the day because it makes my bladder whacky. But it helps to take it at bedtime.

Ask your neuro about Tegretol 200 every 12 hours as it was my only salvation after my worst flair and many medications.
