Wow Bill, you have had some adventures in survival! Baclofen is baaaaaad stuff for some of us. It was the worst medical reaction I have ever had. The HALLUCINATE AND WORSE phrase pretty much nails it. I shan't be pursuing it again. In fact, I don't think it helped the spasms either! Tis an evil potion!

Baclofen is for spazms and the dosages are dependent on the amount u need to live and function. i take 30mg 4 x daily. i tried to cut down but I had problems even going to 30-20-30-20. I started getting weird and had to go back to the original dosages. DO NOT STOP COLD! yOU WILL HALLUCINATE AND WORSE. I am currently on Oxy (30 mg every 3 hours) and Fentyl patches (250 mcg). I once OD'd on patches when the patches got applied and the old ones were left on. My pain was off the charts, and I labored breathing. 24 hours until my nurse saw the problem. Go figure, again not my time. *Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do!* Billy Lang On Wednesday, September 3, 2014 6:48 PM, Derrick <[email protected] <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]');>> wrote: I TAKE BOTH AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. 80 MG BACLOFEN, 20 MG OXYCONTIN, & 10 MG OXYCODONE PER DAY On 9/2/2014 7:29 PM, Larry Willis wrote: Oh my, I took baclofen with oxy a few years ago.

I’ve been taking pain meds for years (MS-Contin), but I’ve been having bad spasms lately so I got some Baclofen. It was fine at first, but the 4th time I took it everything went bad. I took one in the morning when I got up at about 6am and 2 hours later I started crashing into things, got argumentative with people, then feel asleep. After that no one could wake me up. The Aid Car guys tried that smelling stuff, but still no. So they had to give me Narcan. Narcan totally reverses the effects of narcotics. I woke up for a time, but was totally out of it. I was flailing my arms swearing none stop. I only remember a few things from Fri night to Sat 4:30pm. The Aid guys asking me who I am right after they got me awake, and going nuts demanding they take my shirt off. They cut it off, but I kept saying it. Then I woke up in the ER at 4:30pm. I felt a bit loopy until Sun night. Just slightly confused. Anyone else take MS-Con or Oxy plus Baclofen? Not a good combo. Greg W
