baclofen…I'm dizzy

Just started this and was told to start at 10mg at night and 10mg during the day. After the first full day I am so dizzy vertigo feeling. Should I start with 5 mg or just not take it at all. Finally talk to nurse after 3 attempts and she said it would probably be Monday before she can get back to me.

When I first started taking it it made me drowsy. The tablets I use have a line for splitting. Something I take half of one. You might try this

I started with one pill, but it didn't make me dizzy - just relaxed the muscles. I already had bad vertigo. (Lasted for three years, from 2006 until 2009.)

They usually start you off with one pill at a time, then titrate up to 2, then 3, and so on. They want you to stop titrating up when your spasticity and spasms are manageable.
