20 hours of hiccups sounds
20 hours of hiccups sounds terrible I hope those meds kick in!
I have had hiccups for two years. I only get them occasionally throughout the day, but they're pretty violent. I had them once for about 12 hours straight and it kicked off a back spasm that was extremely painful. This happened in the hospital after my second surgery. They did use vallium to stop them but this is a highly addictive drug. And getting off of it can be very difficult and dangerous.
I have tried different meds but with bad side effects. The docs say that Thorazine will work but I have no desire to be a zombie. they use this to tranquilize pych patients.
I have had some success with a natural supplement called Kava Kava. Also one named Muscle Relax which is valarian root, skullcap tops and hops.
I hope that this helps!

Thank you for your reply. For now the Baclofen seems to work. He seems to only get them when he eats. I will keep your other suggestions in my mind though. Thanks again0
