Baclofen side effects???

[reneesmiles]

Hi!

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had these side effects when they first started Baclofen... I am on 10mg TID (three times a day). Also on Vivitrol shot.

Here are the side effects I am experiencing:

Dizziness
Off balance (feels like I have Vertigo or something)
Stomach ache
"Out of it"
Sleepy

Do these side effects go away after you're taking it for a while?

The good news is I got my Vivitrol shot Monday and started Baclofen yesterday and have NO DESIRE to drink! Yay!!!!

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Renee

There is a consolidated side-effects thread. I'll bump it for you.

Your symptoms are "normal" for bac, except for stomache ache, as far as I'm aware.

But please keep in mind that everyone reacts differently.
