Bacoflen and Nabilone are working

I started on Nabilone this summer (for my sciatic nerve pain) and on Baclofen (for spasms) this fall. The Nabilone has definitely made a difference in my sciatic pain, noticeable after several weeks.  This is the second time I've tried Bacoflen: the first time I gave up after a couple weeks because I felt that it made me feel drowsy without any noticeable benefit, but this time it really seems to have made a big difference in my spasms. Do Baclofen and Nabilone make me drowsier?  I'm not sure,  but so far I would say that the benefits outweigh the side effects.

    Thank you - that's what someone else has found. I need something to relieve spasms, pain and stiffness. Will ask GP now about this.

    Hi. That was an old post. I'm still on Baclofen... In fact now on a higher dose. But I stopped taking Nabilone once I started medical marijuana, which I've been on for over a year, mostly for help with sleeping. I'm starting to try a different, higher THC/lower CBD strain during the day to help with pain, stomach problems and depression.

    Hi again, just seen your reply. I wish it was legal to have medical cannabis here in the UK, as it is in the Netherlands and many other parts of the world. I would also try low dose naltrexone for spasms, but my neuro won't prescribe it. Still don't know whether to risk baclofen (knowing tiredness is an issue) with nabilone, if someone will prescribe it! Hope the cannabis thc version works well for you. We just need to try these things to see what works...
