Question: How long does it take for the baclofen
Normally? i dont know. I would give it a few more days. Dont be scared to take it in the am - even after you get to work 5mg, than 5 or 10 around 2-2:30 and than in the evening. I found the one in the evening was enough to take the edge of the craving to just not drink. What is the alcohol situatuion at your house? are you the only drinker? can it all be gone in a couple of days? what is your drinking pattern? if weekends are worse, maybe set your AF date for Sunday or Monday.

Question: How long does it take for the baclofen
It's different for everyone. Myself, I don't have cravings per say however I would stop and get beer on the way home out of habit. If I have one I will have more. I do find it's a little easier to stop at say 3 or 4 rather than 8 pre-Bac. I am at about 150mgs per day, most in the evening.AF July 6 2014

Question: How long does it take for the baclofen
Hangin on,
Just take a small dose (5mg) this morning and 5mg this afternoon adn 5mg this evening. REmember, only my opinion based on my experience and what I was told by my DR. This way if you feel any side effects you wont have as much in your system. Hope this helps.

day 2 15
day 3 15
day 4 30 (10mg x 3)
day 5 30
day 6 30
day 7 45 (15mg x 3)
day 8 45
day 9 45
day 10 60 (20mg x 3)
day 11 60
day 12 60
day 13 75 (25mg x 3)
day 14 75
day 15 75
day 16 90 (30mg x 3)
day 17 90

day 32 165
day 33 165
day 34 180 (60mg x 3)

day 36 180
Around 2-4 weeks after you started according to this plan you will already start to feel the difference.
Keep going up until you notice your craving is gone - then stay at the dose for 2 weeks.since 23. Apr 2009 : TSM - failed to reduce units

Question: How long does it take for the baclofen

I'm really sensitive to medicines of most kinds so I've had to up my dose way slower than this schedule. And, if I've had to drive or do anything I really need to be alert for, I've had to avoid doses just before, because Bac really affects me.
I'd say listen to your body, and take it at your own pace, but that's just my humble opinion

Ameisen showed several examples in his book that it is save to go above this limit. It is mostly about liability. On L-Glutamine package it says 500mg per day as dose suggestion. Most people take 10 times as much! I could keep on saying other examples like that.since 23. Apr 2009 : TSM - failed to reduce units
