I am a spastic diplegia affected (mild) person aged 45. First time in my life, a drug has given immense results. The trick: This time i was advised to take it 3 times a day. UNBELIEVABLE: The very first dose has given me recognisable and excellent control of circumductory gait which usually i get to achieve with a lot of physiotherapy. It was effective even after i have not used it for 10 days aft...

I have been taking this medicine for a month and have not had any change in condition. My doctor said it would help me sleep but it has not. I still have all the muscle spasm and cramping.

Very efficient, all the cramps, muscle spams, anxiety etc. are gone, but it is heavily dosage dependent according to your profile and you may need to get A LOT more than what is conventionally prescribed. I took me many doctors to find one who was willing to go over the 80mg/day FDA limit, but now all is fine. One more thing: It is not easy to take, its effect doesn't last for more than a few hours so you have to take it all the time and if you are on high dosage and miss a dose, the withdrawal effects are not very pleasant, to say the least.Read More Read Less

I have been taking this medication, (Lioresal 20MG), for over eight months. I take one tablet three times a day. Baclofen usually works well for my back spasms due to three Herniated Discs. I've noticed that this medication has been making my eyes blurry, which is a little scary as it's never done that before. If it keeps up, I'm going to reduce the dosage as the tablets can be broken in half. I noticed that no one else has reported this problem, again, a little scary. I'm also taking Percocet 5/325-one a day, and Generic Valium-one 10MG twice a day. If anyone else has noticed a change in their vision, please post you problem. Thank you.Read More Read Less

The very 1st pill caused me to sleep an entire 24-hr period, less 1/2 hr. It caused me to have a seizure. The doctor ordered me to take 10 mg 3x/day. I only took one and look what it did to me. I think the FDA should have checked the effects of this drug long ago. Instead, I read where nothing has been provided. For those of you who are having good effects for your illness, I think it's great. But, I still think more investigation should be put into this drug.

I am a spastic diplegia affected (mild) person aged 45. First time in my life, a drug has given immense results. The trick: This time i was advised to take it 3 times a day. UNBELIEVABLE: The very first dose has given me recognisable and excellent control of circumductory gait which usually i get to achieve with a lot of physiotherapy. It was effective even after i have not used it for 10 days after a continuous use of 5 months. It is helping me to undergo my physio regularly with ease to my doctor. I am relieved of spastic condition with paining muscles. It has supplemented with vitamin B12 which i believe has the magic influence in keeping me active. THANKS TO THE DOC. Read More Read Less
