Hi debRA,
The initial dose is determined from the screening trial, and varies from person to person.
From Drugs.com:
Post-Implant Dose Titration Period: To determine the initial total daily dose of LIORESAL INTRATHECAL following implant, the screening dose that gave a positive effect should be doubled and administered over a 24-hour period, unless the efficacy of the bolus dose was maintained for more than 8 hours, in which case the starting daily dose should be the screening dose delivered over a 24-hour period. No dose increases should be given in the first 24 hours (i.e., until the steady state is achieved).
You can read more here:

Then, your daily dosage is adjusted over the next several months until the most effective dose is achieved.
I hope this helps!Kimba
