I tried it for a month, it really didn't help me with my muscle spasms. Have you read the side effects? Those were enough to almost scare me into not taking them. I didn't have any of them but they are very scary. I take soma for my muscle spasms, they seem to be the only muscle relaxer that actually works for me. Good luck and hope they help you.

I have primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) and was prescribed Baclofen for muscle spasms. I had to come off this drug because of side effects, but it did help for a while. Everyone responds differently - hope you find something to help your spasms. Have you tried Zanaflex? (not sure what name it comes under in the US). Good luck.

Side effects:

"What are the possible side effects of baclofen?
• If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking baclofen and seek emergency medical attention:
· an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
· seizures; or
· an irregular heartbeat.
• Other, less serious side effects are more likely to occur. Continue to take baclofen and talk to your doctor if you experience any of the following:
· drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, or unusual fatigue;
· a headache;
· constipation;
· stuffy nose;
· blurred vision;
· a rash; or
· frequent urination.
• Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome."


Hope that helps out buddy
