It's a muscle relaxer and they don't have enough info on it to know that if you only take it a few times--not taking it can cause withdrawal symptoms that can cause you an AGONIZING and hellish 8 hours or so or kill you or anything in between. It took 3 of these episodes over many months and many hours of researching to learn this. Hopefully, more has been added to the info on it since my experiences but I have to warn folks when I can. My PCP didn't have a clue.

I almost died because baclofen withdrawal. I'm C5 tetraplegic and i was given Baclofen 3 times a day 25mg for ten years. I had a kidney stone that need to be operated, so i waited one day without using baclofen. Second day they operate me and after operation i get light fever, then nurse come to measure my blood pressure, it was very low. Then doctor decided to give me salty water to drink. Blood pressure was dropping. Then doctor decided to give me more nacl, but this time intravenously, no reaction. Then they send me to ICU because this was a symptom of sepsis. I had multiple organ failure, high fever and hallucination. They draw my blood to see if bacteria and which causing the problem. They didn't find any bacteria and they give me wide spectrum antibiotic because ofc they didn't know that all problem was causing baclofen withdrawal. Neither do i! Fifth day in ICU i was getting better, WITHOUT BACLOFEN! At the end, doctors didn't know what happens so they give me release papper, diagnosis: "Severe Sepsis" After few months getting out of hospital i started digging on the internet what may happens because i wasn't convinced to my doctor diagnosis. Lesson was to always read what you taking and take it seriously! And the doctors needs to asking more questions. Sorry for my bad English.

I take a hand ful a day and i beat stage 4 lung cancer only useing that drug and only eatting pineapples i think i was lied to about having cancer i cant believe how stupid I was

Good lecture

Hi Barbara how are doing today dear?🌹🌹

Great explanation

Wow, im glad i found this…❤

What a great lecture. Thank you for sharing this with us.

🎉

In my experience of taking 60 mg per day for almost a decade, when I’ve gone cold turkey (only once and for 72 hours) I had insomnia with pain flares begin in 24 hours and last for days. Terrible headaches ,kidney pain, brain inflammation, hot and cold flashes, and pouring sweat occur after 36 hours. After 50 hours the flulike symptoms seemed to lessen.

Hi. Hope all is well. I had a bad experience with this poison Baclofen myself for over 15 years. Long story. And maybe i can share to with you some day. But i had the pump removed a few years ago. But I really feel like it did me some damage. I am trying to see if ibcan do anything about it

Thank you so mush ❤

This channel is SUCH an amazing resource. Truly. If you ever make a website with learning content I will be the first to sign up!!

Thankyou ma'am for making this difficult concept so easy to understand

Waiting patiently for more lectures for two months.... 🥲

I was taking baclofen for 5 months it was making me tired low dose 10 mg I was only taking it a few times a week I stopped at the end of January I became anxious and I still am I wonder how long this will last so anxious it’s hard to sleep I have arithris I was prescribed medication for that because of flare up..

HFrEF = Heart Failure with reduced EF, no? Did you say reserved EF? What that means?

Myself and my children have low in this blood work what does that mean and what is causing it

I've taken baclofen since I was a child for CP. At the peak amount I ever took was 40 mg 4x a day with 6 mg tizanidine. I can definitely tell when I'm wean down to a lower dose or been without as I tend to have auditory, visual, and tactical hallucinations. When I have been without it for a while, I can't eat or sleep, and I get very jumpy. I tried sharing this with my doctors in jr high but was told that wasn't a side effect of baclofen. I'm 37 now, and we know a lot of the body's dependence on baclofen when taken long-term is a problem. I am currently on a much lower dose, 20 mg 4 x a day, and botox for spasticity. Hope the baclofen pump trial can help.

I get prescribed baclofen (20mg x 4 (so 80mg a day)) for extreme twitching at night after going to bed. I also get prescribed diazepam for this during the day. So, I take 10mg diazepam and 20mg baclofen 3 times a day. Then at night before bed i take 20mg baclofen and 20mg temazepam (for sleep). It does help for my twitching. However, I tend to feel very sluggish and very swimy during the day. Is there anything you would recommend I ask my doctor change? I looked into asking my dr to switch out my temazepam for zoplicone. Would you agree this would reduce my drowsiness during the day?

The fact that you have all of these high quality learning resources for free on this channel is amazing! You just gained a new fan!

Excellent channel!

I self administer this drug whenever I have a pulled or torn muscle. I work out to say the least. One time I pulled several muscles in my calves, excruciating pain all day. Popped 1 10mg pill every 2-4 hours. By the end of the day I have 30mg in total. This drug is extremely useful as a analgesic and muscle relaxant. I think they should prescribe this to anyone who is going through a muscle related injury. It really does work!

Would you be interested in doing a livestream with me on APRV ?

Promo SM 🤦

30 5 mg pills is 150 mg not 300 mg

Thank you so much

There is no "O" in the word centimeter. Why do people insist on pronouncing it with one?

Barbara - thank you for everything you continue to do!!!

Incredible walk through of these dysthymias. I appreciate so much how you speak to nurses having more understanding at the bedside.

Thanks Mam 🇮🇳

Thank you for this brilliant and succinct explanation. One of the best videos I've seen going around. Wish i had access to this when i was doing my crit care post grad

I'm on half of what he's taken and barley working for my muscles I'm bed rudden also getting mute because spasticity is too much to talk also develop hypoxia and Dysphagia.. I'm really dying nobody gives a shit and i did Google the lethal dose of it.. I'm that exhausted and the medical system keeps putting me on waiting lists.. I'm exhausted..

You know, I just weaned myself off a baclofen. I had a stroke and so I was taking the baclofen for spasicity about 40 milligrams a day. And I started to get weird breathing things when I go to sleep. And actually, I still kind of have it, but now my thyroid TSH is really low. And I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the this stff and how horrifying. Anyway, I'm really glad I weaned myself off. I did it very slowly. I'm not a pill person. I take the blood pressure medicine, but I do not like compound. side effect and side effect. Anyway, I'm sorry, but what happened to this kid? And the rehab doctors pretend like it's not a big deal taking it

Thnxs for your stupendous lectures and sharing your knowledge,keep going. God bless

How in the hell did I get this in my feed?
