Baclofen side effect: Higher doses of that medication means more side effects. Typically the variable symptom control is more a matter of your condition rather than effectiveness of the medication. Don't chase symptoms with meds. More importantly, what's your diagnosis? There may be other treatment modalities rather than increasing doses of a complicated medication. Lioresal (baclofen) is an spinal catheter delivered version.
