- Advice & Tips
- In the beginning I had little problems taking this drug. I was up to 14mg/day. Then I began to get extremely tired 1/2 hr after taking this, before long I could not do anything after taking it, I had to sleep! A short nap in the beginning to hrs towards the end.

- Advice & Tips
- I began taking this in 07, at that time everything worked great. Over time the side effect of extreme tiredness has made it impossible to take this med and do anything. The only does I still take regularly is the bedtime dose. I am going to get the baclofen pump instead to reduce the side effects.
