Debbie,
I have been on Baclofen for year & years. I had no problem getting on it at all. In fact we just upped it to 20 mgs every 8 hrs. As far as I can tell I have had no side effects at any time while taking it. I am sorry to hear that you are having such problems. You are the first that I heard of who has had this problem actually.

And I am sensitive to certain meds. So sensitive I can't take them. Two are Topamax & Lamactil. And any type of anti-depressant out there. All of them throw me into a manic episode of huge magnitude.

Thanks for your support. The baclofen is giving me like zingers in my head...

Debbie -

I have no further information on it, but check out this intriguing post [04.11.2010] from the MS forum:

I've taken all those meds in the past and quit them, because of side effects. Spasticity is a part of MS, in one degree or another. My spasticity is ever present, but nothing, with which I can't cope.

I find stretching often, as needed. through the day, helps to keep mine under control. LDN seems to help, as well.

If your spasticity is really bad, as some of us have, then, you may have to endure a few side effects, in order to calm it down. Another alternative, would be the Baclofin Pump, which sends the med to the proper spot and, thus, no foggy, sicky side effects.

I hope you find relief soon..
