Just wondering how many people are dealing with clonus. My legs tremors have been something fierce the last week or so. I'm going to try baclofen again. Curious what others use. Thanks all.

from what I have read that clonus is it sounds like my jerks that I have....and I have tremors as well....I take baclofen and it helps the tremors and muscle spasms and spasticiy but not my jerks:( oh well...can't have everything...

Thanks Morgaine

Ativan stopped my jerks and tremors and seizures, when the dose was increased to 3 x a day .5mg so far so good started last month it is the only medication I take....must still address cognitive and memory issues

I only get spasms in my jaw right now, mostly at night. I take Ativan 0.5-1mg at bedtime when I have to, but overall not too bad. I am holding off on the baclofen offer, don't want to add any more meds until I absolutely have to.
by the way, Morgaine, love the turkey picture, it's great.

Thanks.. I'll have to speak with my neuro about Ativan.

I take both Baclofen and Ativan. For me, neither one alone is enough, but together they keep me from making a fool of myself in public...lol
Good luck and God Bless - Rana'

I take a lot of baclofen for spastisity. What does anyone know about Quinine? They use Quinine for restless leg syndrome. I found out the other day that Tonic water has quinine in it. I was thinking I may try that vs more pills. I also take 1/4 zanaflex at night to get the spasms to relax when I'm sleeping. My other technique is to sit on my foot - then my leg just moves my whole body.

Never heard of Quinine, seriphina, but will research it for sure.

deleted_user 11/04/2007

There are some pills sold for RLS over the counter that have quinine in them too. I've not tried any of it. It is only something I've heard about.
Good luck.

I must agree that baclofen alone may not be enough, it helps me, but I am looking for something to go with it. So keep me posted on what u learn ;)

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
