Baclofen - dizzy and sleepy. Any help?

I’m on 50 MG of Baclofen a day and am having significant dizziness and sleepiness. Can’t take tegretol or anything like it because of severe reaction. I have a history of being sensitive to meds… I like to call it the princess and the pea syndrome :slight_smile: I read about some of the doses on here and think I’m at the very beginning. Anything I can do to help the dizziness?

Call pharmacist for suggestions too!

Good idea! Seriously, after reading some of the doses most people are on I feel kinda silly complaining about a 50 mg dose. Especially since I’m able to prevent attacks so far. I’m still getting used to the idea that this thing is most likely going to get worse over time.

Hi,

I was on Baclofen for almost a year staring at 40 mg and went up to 80 mg. I didn’t have dizziness, but it made me really tired and it caused heartburn. My neurologist put me on a different muscle relaxation that she thought was better called, Zanaflex. It seems to be helping, so it would be worth considering.

I hope things get better for you
