Baclofen question

[Sunshine]

Early This morning for about five hours, I feel kind of queasy for unknown reasons. It went away. However, it got me thinking.

Baclofen is one of those drugs you shouldn’t miss a dose. You can get into deep trouble if you miss more than a dose. At least that’s my understanding of it.

So, if you have A stomach virus and you can’t keep anything down for a day, it seems like it could become a crisis if you can’t keep your Baclofen down. I don’t just mean in increased spasticity, I mean serious problems because your body becomes sort of addicted to Baclofen

Do you know anything about that situation?

Queasy again from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. and too awake. Thinking it’s a side effect of ZPak. Today will be last day taking the pill. So maybe will be last night of “side effect”

I would call my doctor, and let them tell you what you should or should not do. Good luck, and call as soon as their office opens.

[Sunshine]

Well, if Howie says call the doc, you call the doc. So I left message on VM to call me. Will call again to be sure a few hours

Baclofen itself can make you dizzy and queasy as a side effect from my understanding.

Yes, but been on this dose of Baclofen and Tizanidine since June !

[Sunshine]

And they make you drowsy, as opposed to hyper alert. Several years ago an antibiotic did this weird insomnia to me, started with a B, either Bactria, Bactoderm, Biaxin

[Sunshine]

Ok, I think the other ne a while ago was Bactrim.

I don't always do well with antibiotics, so my guess is ZPak. I have several antibiotics that are on my chart not to give me if possible. I am not exactly allergic to them, I just feel queasy and sick on them.

Your symptoms could be a side effect of the Zpack.

Hello
I routinely miss doses of my baclofen. When spasticity is bad I take it as prescribed but when I am better I skip doses. Never had any problem.
I know the directions say to take it on schedule to keep in in your system and working most efficiently.

That’s all I know. I have been taking it for 25 years.

[Sunshine]

Ok. So I don’t have to panic if I miss a dose here or there. Thanks Laz. Here you are grappling with bladder scare, and still helping others.
