My prescription for Baclofen says to take it 3X a day but I really don't need it that often.

My leg spasticity only gets bad at night.....when I'm trying to sleep. So I take 1 before bed and that has seemed to work for me.

If things worsen I suppose I could take it more often during the day but right now I don't need it.

I haven't had any side effects from it other than a mild headache but even that doesn't happen very often and could be from other things like allergies.

I try to take as little meds as possible. Sometimes they're needed, though, and I'm thankful they're there for me for those times.
