When I first started Baclofen, the neuro told me to take 10mg three times a day.

So I tried that. First pill I took was at 2pm. Fell asleep for the next 4 or 5 hours.

Took the next one around 12 or 1am, slept till about 230pm the next day.

Took the third one sometime later that night (probably after 10pm) and was out for another 10 or 12 hours. I was so tired thru all that, I decided to back off on the 10mg three times a day. Now I take it when needed. I seem to only have spasticity for a few days a month. So, when I notice a problem, I'll take a half or a quarter of a pill...do that for a few days and then the spasticity seems to go away for a few weeks. Sometimes I can get by for a month or two before I start having a problem with it again.

Seems like it follows the mini flares I seem to get every couple of months. I can tell I'm in a flare because I'll either have increased spasticity or a l'hermittes sign that wont go away for a bit. I'd rather have the (so far) mild spasticity than have a l'hermittes sign. (last time I had l'hermittes, it was really painful)
