I used to have frequent spasms sometimes quite severe. i am now spasm free. I
know I get spasms but I just don't feel them. i take 800 mg. gabapentin three
times daily; 25 mg. of baclofin twice daily; and 8 mg. zanaflex three times
daily. this combination works for me. it took me about 2 years to get the exact
dosage right. I persisted with my neuro almost to the point of scheduling my
appointments every two months instead of the usual six months. my neuro balked
at this as he has many patients to see. but I persisted. gabapentin for those
who do not know was originally prescribe for epileptic sizures. my neuro even
tried to have me switch to lyirca instead of gabapentin. Lyirica did nothing
for me so I switched back. I know this combination works for me as sometimes I
miss taking my pills. I then feel the spasms coming back. I felt a few side
effects at the beginning but over time these rectified themselves. hope this
helps. I feel for you been there did that. even got a t-shirt printed saying
spasm free ( just kidding) .
