I take baclofen (two 10mg pills a day) but I'm trying to back myself off of it. It's one of those meds you cant just stop cold turkey. So I started recently taking just 1 1/2 pills a day, and will try to drop down to one pill or half a pill soon.

When the spasticity is really horrible, or if I'm having a really horrible insomnia night, I've taken two 10mg baclofen along with half of a 5mg valium. Knocks me out.

Trying to get away from taking the valium too often, since it is habit forming (so far, I havent gotten a habit yet) It's also got a listed side effect that I think it's giving me that I dont like, so I'm trying to get both medications out of my system.
