Baclofen is my life saver for muscle spasms, and it has been the only med that I have stayed on religiously for 13 years - and I am awful for dropping my meds. Unfortunately it is one of those medications that doesn't break the blood barrier well in oral form, and is so much more effective in a pump, in oral form it requires taking a much higher dose. finding an oral dose that works for you can be tough, but I know how well it works for me as I know how much worse those spasms (I call them electrical bolts) can get if I stop it. I hope you are able to find a dose that works for you. It won't help with the pain itself, but we all know how much those spasms can increase that pain.

Hi my doctor started me on baclofen ...and oh my it has helped the spasms so much! I take it only at night a low dose I can turn my head drive my car walk cook dinner . I still get pain but now that the spasms are under control my quality of life is so much better. wish I would have tried this sooner. Iwas taking klonipin and ultram before. Baclofen is soooooooooo much better.
