I told you incorrectly in the last email! We tried oral Baclofen, but it did not do the trick. With the intrathecal Baclofen, some people take a mighty dose. 450 micrograms a day is a mild dose. That's about 20 mcg an hour. It doesn't seem to bother the neurologists. They encourage higher doses. It does have a sedative effect in higher doses. Intrathecal Baclofen has a much more powerful effect than taking pills- none of it ends up in the liver. We took 3 10 mg pills 3 times a day with little effect.
