Default Baclofen

Although I do not have MS, I have a neurological movement disorder (Cervical Dystonia/Spasmodic Torticollis) that sometimes includes Baclofen as part of the treatment regiment. I know that a lot of people with MS are familiar with it and I had a couple of questions, so here goes:

My neurologist has told me in the past that I can safely go up to 40 mg before I needed to discuss further changes. He has prescribed me, both recently and in the past, a dose of 1 10mg tab twice a day. I have increased to 30mg total, but am wondering what others more familiar with it might think would work best--15 mg in the morning and 15 at night) or 10 in the am, 10 in the afternoon, and 10 at night?

Also-what side effects have you experienced? Is it common to feel tired and "out of it" after increasing the dosage?
