I started at 10mg x 3 a day on the baclofen, and then I backed off on it and quit the baclofen because my spasticity let up on me for awhile.
Right now I'm probably at 20mg of baclofen once a day (at night, take one 10mg in the early evening and another one just before bed) so that I can sleep without my heels trying to kick myself in the butt in the middle of the night. I've basically switched from valium to baclofen because my neuro is being a jerk and wont re-up my valium Rx. So, I'm saving the valium for really really bad days. (or for the next time I have a panic attack...hope that doesnt happen again. Had a panic attack on Xmas night. It was scary)
I'm trying to do stretching exercises in the afternoon in the hopes it'll keep the spasticity from getting really bad at night. Just started that tho. Not sure if it'll work.
