I am taking muscle relaxants for severe night spasms and day stiffness. Dosage at night Lorazepam 1mg pregabalin 75mg and one spray of sativex. I only take lower dose of pregabalin / sativex during the day. To my dismay my muscles have become soft and inactive and I am getting stiffer daily. The intensity of my spasms persist. I now feel like abandoning all medication, please can anyone give me advice on the way forward.

I’d suggest taling to your doctor or your MS Nurse. Jiggling meds around really should be done with professional guidance.

I hope you get it sorted, it sounds horrid.

All the best,
