A member asked:
What is the dose of baclofen for sleep and are the lowest doses the most effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not for insomnia: The primary use for muscle spasticity and neuropatic pain. Sedation and sleepiness are common side effects. Baclofen is available 10 and 20 mg tablets. The usual starting dosage is 5 mg three times a day, which can be increased by 5 mg every 2-3 days until adequate pain relief is obtained.

Baclofen 20mg 3x daily, have spoken to my doctor about reducing by 5mg for one dose during the day to see what effect there may be. Would you think 10mg instead of 20mg for one dose would be too much?
