That does happen to me every once in a while, but not often. Janice

I swear by baclofen. Had to change the number taken and the times of the day when to take them, but once that was figured out, I could sleep. Sorry to sound like a broken record and I realize that we are all different too. Sure wish it would work on you guys the way it works for me.

I take it for other pain, and I also take it to sleep occassionally. Before anyone states that it isn't a sleep aid, I know it, but it allows my other aches and pains to stop hurting enough for me to go to sleep. It does not work on the really bad nights when my nerves or spasms do not settle down though. I may as well have not even bothered.

I take 20mg or 40mg of long acting HCL in the morning, depending on the legs, and have perocdan as a filler for the day. I also take Lyrica, Effexor, Wellbutrin and baclofen. Even today, after 2 days of working 8 hours, and moving around and doing housework, I hurt. I want to lay in bed. But . . . just like the rest of us . . . duty and life are calling. I really appreciate the medication information simply because I live so far away from the nearest neurologist, and the wait time is up to a year, if we can get in at all. Then we must travel either 400 miles out of province, or 850 miles to Vancouver. So the information on here is absolutely priceless. However, you cannot have my MasterCard! ;) Janet From: john snodgrass [mailto:] Sent: September 8, 2010 2:09 PM To: Rev.

I also take hydrocodone,baclofen, and lorazepam. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =
