Hi Mistybee,

I have been taking Baclofen for the same reason for about 5 years now and not had any problems and have found them to be beneficial. Hope you get a result x

I was prescribed nortriptalene and bacolfen. The baclofen to take 3 times a day for pain. I dont often take it as just 1 a day makes me a total zombie.

Thanks ladies.mixed feelings it seems.

They have helped me I feel, but, I have had an awful headache (different to my fibro head and facial aches) and stomach pains for weeks now.you know what it’s like,each new pain etc makes fibro worse anyways.

Not sure if this is the Baclofen or not .

I’d love to be off all meds,if only had hydro pool and maybe Thin Air.available instead. Enough is going on with our bodies without side affects from drugs we don’t want in the first place.

Not what you're looking for?
