Seemed to work instantly when her legs would jump. I take 3-4 baclofen every day to keep my legs in control. best of luck.

I'm on my second. It works very well; when the reservoir is low my legs start yanking during the day. I also take 16 mg of tizanidine PRN at bedtime if I'm twitching, maybe twice a week. Do a Google search for "intrathecal pump".
