Im on 6 10mg oxys, 2-20 mg oxycontins, and 10 mg baclofen per day. I once was on a lot more baclofen but cut it down 10 mg at a time based on my spasms and body reaction. Im about ready to eliminate the baclofen all together. I had spasms in the beginning so bad that I had to tie my legs to the chair with a bungee cord, now 16 yrs post my spasms are almost nil. Ive been doing 30-40 miles per month in my rio dragonfly handcycle to combat pain and keep in shape. I might attempt to get back into the swim program starting next year if they let me. Swimming kept me in awesome shape and kept my feet from swelling. Being a quad you must adapt or die.

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! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Billy Lang <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, September 3, 2014 Subject: [QUAD-L] I just O.D. this weekend To: Derrick <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Just saw this conversation and thought I'd reply. 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!

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.
