Baclofen serious side effects

1

Hi, I was recently put on baclofen as an add on to lamictal. at first it appeared that the lamictal dose was too high, which from past experience with this med, i agree. so baclofen was started, i am having severe reactions such as severe dizziness, lightheaded, sensitivity to sound, difficulty with vision...tracking (grocery store shelves make me so ill that i need to leave the environment within about 15 min), puffiness around eyes and now entire face, trembling/uncoordinated in left arm and some in right arm, inside sensation of non-stop vibration,much increased palpitations, nasal dripping and post-nasal drip. I have a major concern that it could be CSF leak/meningitis from crainiotomy i had in April 2014 to remove a meningioma.

Any have info, direction, similar experience, other?

take care

I'm on Carbatrol 300 mg ER, but started having break thru pain after 4 years. My Neurologist put me on Baclofen (with my Carbatrol) and i got so dizzy i kept falling down and could not get up, i couldnt even lift my head off the ground, It's a muscle relaxer, and it made me feel like i had NO muscles what so ever! I hated it!, I called my Nuro and told him and he took me off it and put me on Phenytoin (spelling) the only side effets i had were I urinate every 3 hrs (lol) it's been a year now and i still get a few twinges now and then in the Winter, but so far, So good. ( but i wouldnt recommend Baclofen to ANYONE)
