Mechanism Of Action Of Baclofen Baclofen is a GABA agonist Activation of GABA receptors may lead to decrease excitation
Baclofen (Lioresal) is the p-chlorophenyl derivative of GABA. Baclofen is a GABA-B agonist that has been used for muscle spasms and spasticity, and neuropathic
Background to Baclofen Use in AWS. Baclofen is a specific agonist for the GABA-B receptor. This receptor provides a negative feedback loop for the GABA-ergic system thereby downregulating GABA-A activity and mimicking some of the effects of alcohol induced action on the GABA-A receptor [for more in depth discussion of the baclofen mechanism see ()].
Most studies have shown that it has something to do with the way in which baclofen interacts with the GABA receptors in the brain. Baclofen interacts with GABA-

Baclofen is a GABA-B receptor agonist, meaning it mimics the action of GABA at these specific receptor sites. When Baclofen binds to GABA-B
Baclofen is a gamma-Aminobutyric Acid-ergic Agonist. The mechanism of action of baclofen is as a GABA A Agonist, and GABA B Agonist.
Lioresal (baclofen) (aka Baclofen) is a human prescription drug Pharmaceutical Classes, GABA A AGONISTS [MOA], GABA B AGONISTS [MOA]
As for everyone else ... life keeps adding on the 'happy' {sarcasm}.
My neurologist decided to prescribe a more powerful tool to manage the pain in my feet. So, he gave me a foot cream. What wasn't obvious was the non-prescribed 'side effects' of the foot cream which included ... (sigh) ...
Well, as my feet have been hurting like sons-a-bitches, I was slathering that cream on three and four times a day. It had minimal positive effect which was leagues ahead of the pain I was going through. Besides, it was foot cream. What was the worse that could happen?
Baclofen (2%) ~ [Lightheadedness or fainting, trouble seeing, severe tiredness, weakness],
Cyclobenzaprine (2%) ~ [Anxiety, restlessness, seeing or hearing things that are not there, severe drowsiness, fainting, or confusion],
Diclofenac (3%) ~ [Sudden or severe headache, or problems with vision, speech, or walking],
Gabapentin (6%) ~ [Behavior problems, aggression, restlessness, trouble concentrating, moodiness (especially in children), problems with coordination, shakiness, unsteadiness, unusual moods, or behaviors, thoughts of hurting yourself, feeling depressed, dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, tiredness],
Lidocaine (2%) ~ [which, somewhat stunningly, isn't trying to fuck with my head]
So I've been staggering around in a semi-lucid state for the past several days, unable to figure out why I couldn't do much, if any, writing. It took me complaining to my wife to provide some clarity.
I repeat - it is freaking foot cream!
I've stopped with the foot-crack and am back to dealing with the pain. Hopefully I'll be back to writing soon too.
