Anyone Use Baclofen?

My Mother takes it. She says that she gets more done during the day but, sometimes this leads to overdoing it.

It's primarily used for muscle spasms and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It's not a very useful medication for all muscles based on personal experience and published research. However, some patients experience positive results. It's also addictive, requires multiple daily doses, and you will need to slowly decrease your dose before stopping daily use.

It's effectiveness also depends on which muscles are spastic. Alternative muscle relaxants may be more beneficial depending on the source of the pain, specifically which muscles spasm. I know this is an old post but if you need advice, I'll gladly provide my professional opinion regarding which medication would be helpful.

It's high price is likely due to limited supply which is controlled by few companies, many of which don't even conduct drug research and instead buy rights to manufacture it for pennies in China, re-sell in USA for 100x higher price.

This is the only muscle relaxer my county doctor will prescribe to me.

This medication is DEFINITELY NOT “high priced.”

ime baclofen has its uses. It can be really helpful with wd symptoms to reduce muscle spasms and provide relief from restlessness and anxiety but I haven't had much luck with it actually treating muscle pains. if you're looking for a pill that can give you a buzz its not really a good option either, I had to take 8 10mg tablets just to feel any sort of intoxicating effect and it wasn't very pronounced or long lasting. In my use I didn't notice any negative side effects but I'm sure some people don't react well to it

My doctor once prescribed b@cL0f3n for 2 herniated disks. Did absolutely nothing for me. Usually just gave me insomnia. She gave me 3 refills and that was that.

That’s when I went underground and discovered s0ms.

As a lifelong “wrastling” fan, I had always heard about s0ms being used by dying/dead wrastlers. But even the OG ones that are still alive, swear that those worked the best for pain management. That’s why everyone used them in the 90s.

B@c = 100% lowest grade (sugar pills)

S0ms = real deal + euphoria + sleep aid (because the pain, spasms, and tightness ACTUALLY go away & 1 can relax & sleeeeeeeeeeep)

1) I don’t condone any of this!
2) Best to avoid relaxers for long-term usage. Especially the ones that don’t work anyways

Baclofen did a little for me, may have been just placebo. They were obtained through a DR so no quality issue.
