According to Medscape.com, 80 mg per day is a commonly accepted maximum, dosing up to 200 mg per day has been used safely and effectively.
At one point, working with my physician, I was taking 40mg three times a day (120mg total). My spasms have mellowed over the past 15 years and I’ve slowly reduced the dosage to 80mg a day==20mg morning, 20mg early afternoon, 40mg evening. I am going to try reducing to 20mg at night and hope that keeps spasm’s at bay. It is extremely important that you don’t abruptly stop taking baclofen! Abruptly stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms including increase in spasticity, fever, altered mental status, seizures, and on and on. Best to slowly reduce dosage under a doctors guidance.
