Re: [TMIC] med question - meloxicam and baclofen
When I first came home from hospital I was on 80 mg of Baclofen and lots of Zanaflex (can't remember exactly) and with the Gabapentin at about 3600 mg I was a real zombie. It took a few years to get down to where I am now. I take 40 mg Baclofen per day (10mg every 5 hours) and then one 4mg tab of Zanaflex at bedtime. Have to be careful with the Zanaflex - liver enzyme problems.

When I mentioned "spasm" later, everyone would look at me oddly and say that I wasn't having spasms. Now this guy is giving me meds for spasms and says that my right leg shows signs of spasticity) He said my vert was great - mild degeneration in mid T and at L-5 S-1 - which I already knew about. The 'arthritis' is genetic/ "getting older" he said - but it is unusual for my age. He said my 2001 car accident didn't have anything to do with it - but my chiro told me in 01 that it would come in time because it almost always shows up in a few years after a major collision. Anyway - what's the scoop on all these meds. before I decide to go ahead and take them I just wanted find out if it is worth the time. - You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.
