> Do you think you could have avoided that by adjusting the dose? Or by taking less to begin with?

I stopped taking baclofen (100 mg a day) and waited several days and then resumed taking it, this time at a much lower dose, which I gradually increased. It didn't cause insomnia anymore, but it didn't help my depression and anxiety at a lower dose. After a few weeks, it started to aggravate my arrhythmia.

> OA used lot of Baclofen, didn't he?

Ameisen took 120 mg a day. I think he divided this into three doses. He worked his way up to this dosage very gradually. You shouldn't stop taking baclofen suddenly, as this can cause seizures. If quitting baclofen, you should taper it.
