CLONUS!

5 Replies

ever since I came off baclofen (the withdrawal hell is finally ending. many thanks to wellbutrin),

my clonus has been veeeeery bad, to the point that i want to avoid walking.

pretty much bedridden.

thankfully my job is a work from home type of job (translations).

even the slightest weight on my toes start a violent shake in my legs.

Anyone on here having/had trouble with clonus,

and know of any successful treatments?

Going back on baclofen is one option.

I know botox and surgery is an option but I don't know if it works in the case of AMN.

Tizanidine did nothing for me. other than make me groggy.

My muscles are not necessarily stiff.

Why did you stop the Baclofen? I had terible clonus and a physical therapist told me I should be on it and then the doctors prescribed it. It has helped me tremendously. I am sorry you are having difficulties.

Are you certain you want to start with that much? Maybe take one tablet or even half tablet and see how many hours it lasts before taking the next?

i came off it once because i started taking too much and caused me to have withdrawals between doses:-/
