My personal thing: At one time the max dosage was 100-120 mg per 24 hour period because of the possible damage to the liver, in taking oral meds. Using the pump requires a lot less medication because the bachoflen doesn't pass thru the body system first. With the pump system, the meds go directly to the leison. When I see 300mg, I have to wonder not only the effects on the spasm, but potential damage to other parts and organs in your body. I can only speculate as I am not your doctor and I hope your doctor is monitoring your meds and their process. Best Wishes In a message dated 7/29/2009 6:57:49 P.M.

I'm a little shocked at the 300. I take 80 mg of baclofen a day, but that is orally. The individuals I know who have a baclofen pump tell me it requires quite a bit less than when they were taking the medicine orally. Everyone reacts differently, but I never experienced fatigue from baclofen, then again I wasn't taking it in the quantities you are. The highest I ever went to was 160 mg a day. I still take quite a bit of medicine for spasms. Baclofen doesn't seem to be that effective for me, so I end up taking 75 mg of dantrolene a day and 5 mg diazepam (Valium) a day. I managed to reduce my intake of diazepam considerably over a 2 1/2 year period, but I have reached a plateau where reducing my medication would cause too many spasms. Definitely getting to see your doctor ASAP.
