Going thru bad patch with sleep.I take 20mg of baclofen about 2 hrs before i go to bed and do stretching exercises.Of late this is not helping with my spasms and i end up having to get up after about 2 hrs of no sleep and bad spasms.Any tips or advice ? You all stay safe and take care ,Steve
Hi Steve, the jury`s still out on what the best dosage of baclofen is. For most folk here, it is a case of tweek your doses and find out that way. GPs/neuros agree this is the way to deal with it, as it varies widely in just how much gives relief.
I take 30mg at night. I still get a few foot and leg spasms, but I find taking quinine as well (300mg) helps reduce the problem. I`ve been up as high as 70mg and it caused so many falls, it was no way to live. It also caused wetting and tongue swelling…eek!
Dunno if this will help, but hoping so.

Hello Steve,
I used to get spasms at night but now take Clonazepam and Keppra and I sleep all night and it’s heaven. Still get them during the day but they have eased off an awful lot.
Wishing you luck.
