A 40mg dose of baclofen can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and weakness. These are common side effects, often mild and temporary. However, higher doses increase the risk of more serious issues.
Fatigue is another frequent side effect; you might experience unusual tiredness or sleepiness. Consider adjusting your daily schedule to accommodate this.
Gastrointestinal problems like nausea and constipation can occur. Increasing fluid and fiber intake may help mitigate constipation.
Muscle weakness is possible, potentially impacting coordination and balance. Exercise caution when performing tasks requiring precise movements or good balance.
Some individuals report headaches, blurred vision, or changes in their blood pressure. Monitor these symptoms carefully and consult your doctor if they worsen.
Rare but serious side effects include seizures and respiratory depression, especially at higher dosages. These require immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about any unusual or concerning symptoms immediately.
Baclofen withdrawal can be serious. Never stop taking baclofen suddenly; always follow your doctor’s instructions for tapering the dose.
