I agree with this guy. I can also relate to the pain. My doctor explained to me
that there is no cure for nerve pain. That bacloflen and nerontin, stimulate a
different pat of your brain to kind cover up the pain. But have side effects,
fatigue, cognitive and memory laps or loss.
For me, I am in pain from the moment I wake up until I fall asleep. I have to
take Ambien to fall asleep, or like you I am up for days. What have for me that
helps is water and exercise. A bath and a Chiropractic adjustment. Honestly,
I need to work on the excersise part.
Hope this helps I know how hard it is to focus when your tired and in pain, I
will keep you in my prayers.

One thing you need to do is before you even upped your baclofen was to find out
why your getting the sweats n spasms, usually alot of times taking more
medicine hides whats really wrong.(the sweats n spasms or A.D. is usually our
body telling us something is wrong) I took myself off (slowly) but 60mg of
baclofen from 160mg the only reason I needed so much at the time was cause I
broke my leg. One thing about baclofen is it lowers your blood pressure and you
need to remember also its hard on the digestive system and liver. It will make
you very sleepy because its a type of relaxer. You need to talk w/ your doctor
and see if there's something wrong w/ your back you might have done something
to it and not realized it or maybe the way your laying in bed or could be your
bed, but just taking more medicine is not always a good idea, your just masking
the problem. Maybe try something else becoz thats alot of baclofen and sounds
like causing more problems.

Life's greatest accomplishments are those that at first seem impossible and
No one can know what they can do until they try.
