    Baclofen and weight gain

    Hey there, 1st post.

    Anyone else dealing with weight gain with baclofen?
    I've gained about 10 lbs since I've been on it. About 6 months. I am at 240 mg daily.

    Insomnia and somnolence I am dealing with, too. Maybe that's why I am gaining weight?

    Tough to exercise when I am this tired. Any ideas? Coffee is not doing it for me during the day.
    :thanks:

    Baclofen and weight gain

    Hey Sole

    As I recall bac can make some people gain weight but also some reported being able to workout better and gain extra muscle. You didn't say whether you are still drinking or not. After I switched, I decided to go on a fitness kick and I ended up losing about 90 lbs in 6 months, even though I had the somnolence thing big time. So, it can be done.

    Coffee didn't do squat for me either but bronkaid sure as hell did. I've recently stopped using it though, because I've been getting nagged about it being bad for a "man of my age", blah blah blah. But the Bronkaid works...as long as you don't mind the potential for a massive heart attack.:H

    Nice to meet you!

      Thanks!
      Yes my drinking is in check. I still have a few every blue moon say once every 10 days.
      I am ok with that.

      Bronkaid? Hmm, never heard of that. Might have to look that up.

      Nice to meet you also!

        240mg? Isn't that a real lot? I'm new to baclofen, but I thought you were only supposed to go up to about 200 max and then taper down to about 100?

          I think Dr A went higher than that to be honest. He was up to 270mg. It's based on your weight from what I gather. I've heard of people going over 300 at least I think that's what I read on some European forum.

          It worked for me so hey. It was not fun getting there.

            Guys, there's really no maximum amount of baclofen you can take. I've known people on here take 4 or 500mg/day. I myself went up to 350. You just have to keep going until you hit your 'switch' and it doesn't seem to be relative to weight either.

                  Sometimes that's how I feel. Gave up the smokes though years ago. Thx!
