Hi Rob, I've been taking 30 mg twice a day since I was in rehab (8/95)It does not help my banding at all.It does stop my spasms.I tried to cut down the dosage once,and my legs went nuts i.e. kicking,shaking. I don't notice any bad effects from it. I do have times when my legs buckle,but that happens when I overdo and my legs are tired. I did read an article about a woman who lost weight and became confused due to staying on the same dosage of it. Hope this helps. Happy Thanksgiving,Cheryl

I am presently weaning myself off of Cymbalta (hated it!) and am down to 30 mg from 60 mg and I will be off of the Cymbalta within about 2 more weeks. Once I am finished with the Cymbalta I am going to retry ( I tried it more than 10 years ago) Baclofen. The Neuro gave me a prescription of 10mg 3 times a day…but he told me to build up to this dosage over time and to cut back on the dosage if my leg starts to buckle. My question is for those who use Baclofen (not the pump) what are the dosages you take. Also let me know the benefits ….I am hoping it will reduce the excessive banding…..and any negative side effects Baclofen has caused you. Much thanks…and everyone…Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
