I've been taking 10 mg. of baclofen 4 x a day for about a year and a half. I never had any problems with it until yesterday. The NP at my neurologist's office increased by dosage because my spasticity is getting worse.

I took 20 mg. yesterday morning, and about two hours later on my way to work, I was so sleepy that I kept dozing off while I was driving! I got to my office and couldn't stay awake, so came home, and kept dozing off again on the drive home. It scared me because I almost rear-ended two vehicles in front of me and nearly ran off the road several times.

I've decided to take the 20 mg. once in the evening, and then again before I go to bed, and just take the 10 mg. in the morning and early afternoon. I definitely don't want a repeat of yesterday!
