Avatar f tn Examination by a phisio, orthopedic surgeon and podiatrist have not been able to help. I have been prescibed various drugs including baclofen and pregabalin but still no joy. Anyone have a similar experience and information would be appreciated.
1218873 tn?1300091216 Hi i wondered if anyone could explain there experience of Pregabalin (Lyrica?) i have been on Gabapentin for the last 3 months with only a little success (the twitches have reduced considerably) but no relief pain. Now the Dr is going to swap me to Pregabalin which has to be done slowly to switch from one to the other, so this will start as soon as I'm home from holiday. I wondered if anyone had done this and what there experience of the drugs are?
Avatar n tn Hello Doctor, My wife suffers with acute and spasm (pulsating) pain down the cervical and thoracic spine. Numbness, weakness and pain exists in her left arm. This has been going on for 2+ years. Sitting, standing, traveling worsens the pain and increases the frequency of the spasms. This pain feels like pins/needles being jabbed at the spine. She has seen 5 spine surgeons who all claim she does not need surgery. Yet MRIs indicate multiple disc degeneration, stenosis in c4/c5/c6/c7.
Avatar n tn These are anti-epilepsy drugs such as valproate, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, phenytoin, gabapentin, and pregabalin; muscle relaxants such as clonazepam and baclofen; tricyclic antidepressants such as carbamazepine, amitriptyline, and nortriptyline. The other option is surgery: Stereotactic radiosurgery, cutting or destroying part of nerve or removing blood vessel or tumor pressing it. If there is a tumor or blood vessel causing the symptoms then medical treatment will not help.
1252153 tn?1269094321 can anyone tell me what Lyrica is and Savella, in england Lyrica is a company who make a drug called Pregabalin,thats what i am on now,been back to doc 2day and he has give me a larger dose of pregabalin.
1168718 tn?1464983535 Baclofen is rapidly absorbed, so some doctors use it as an "as needed" (PRN) medication. It is related to Gabapentin, and can (not always) cause withdrawal syndrome. When taken "as needed," withdrawal syndrome would be rare. I started it as "as needed at bedtime." I now take 20mg 3 times a day + 10 mg Norflex twice a day + 10 mg Valium at bedtime to manage the spacticity. http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever been prescribed Baclofen for migraines and facial neuralgia?
Avatar f tn my doctor is trying a new muscle relaxer called baclofen, i was taking robaxin but it made me too tired, is this new one going to make me really tired too? i am really reluctant to take it.
Avatar m tn Is baclofen addictive. Ive been taking it for back pain, and itching on the inside.
Avatar f tn After a few years on Flexeril I was recently switched to Baclofen. It seems like Bacofen is the go-to drug for MS related spasicity. The wanted me to start out on 1/2 does for 7 days and go to the full dose after that. I made it three days on the 1/2 dose and couldn't take it anymore. Since it takes a while to get to therapeutic levels I was kept awake all night with TERRIBLE spasms, worse than usual, I had muscle weakness and I was puking my brains out.
Avatar f tn So during my withdrawal process, Ive done plenty of research trying to find ways to help ease my symptoms. I was just wondering why I have never heard of this drug "Baclofen" helping with opiate withdrawal. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge???
1168718 tn?1464983535 thanks guys, I think I will hold off on the Baclofen, and stick my Flexeril as it does seem to help, though not entirely, but it doesn't have the side effects for me ..... Hope you are all having a bright, sunny day..
1807779 tn?1333840302 Can i ask how long it takes for baclofen to start working ?
1760800 tn?1406753451 My neuro prescribed baclofen for me for spaticity I have been on it for two weeks now and am not really seeing any real relief - I can stand easier but am still getting cramps in my legs when sitting for too long and still having real difficulty with tightness - Is it too soon to say something - is there a period of time to wait for it to "kick" in help!

Avatar m tn I'm 21 and male. I was having arm pains which was caused by neck pain for bad posture on computer desk. So I went to the GP (general medicine) and he said the pain is for the neck, and it will go away and asked me to do some static neck exercise and swimming and prescribed 'Pregabalin m-75' to take for 1 month and stop.
867787 tn?1318936230 Hello Everyone! I have been taking zanaflex 4mg 4x per day for the last 3 yrs & now its no longer helping me with these awful spasms. I have friends that also have MS & they take baclofen(spelling?) & say it helps them. What is your opinion??What if any side effects does it have?? Sorry for all the questions, I really need some relief!! Thank you!!
Avatar m tn no it is not arthritis.....my question is....what will happen if she combines the methadone and the pregabalin?...she takes methadone about every other day...a bottle of 130mg methadone will last her almost 5 to 6 days....any info would be helpful.
Avatar f tn Thanks for that, Tuck. I've had a look through PubMed database to see if there have been scientific studies specifically on the question of tolerance, but without joy. As far as I can tell, the main assumption/claim is that because pregabalin is not known to be metabolically active (ie, the liver and body don't metabolise it into other molecules) the patient shouldn't develop tolerance. I am now a bit more sceptical of that claim.
