A member asked:
I have fibromyalgia. my pain specialist just prescribed baclofen for a muscle relaxant but i forgot to ask about weight gain as i am already considere?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baclofen: Hi: the more common side effects of baclofen include drowsiness, feeling of weakness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, insomnia, nausea, increased urination, or constipation. Weight gain can occur, but it is not the most common. If you stay with Baclofen, do gentle exercises (aquatherapy in warm for example), that will give resistance and at the same time support your body weight. All the best!
