People could simply indicate a 'Yes' or 'No' but then go on to explain in more detail about their personal experience, if they wish.
What do others think of this idea? I will only proceed if there is a general consensus (say 70% in favour) that it is worth pursuing.

I agree -- the intention of the poll was clearly stated: to find out at which dosage a person reached their switch point. I see no reason to change the poll midway. That wouldn't make sense.
There was a thread a while back called something like "Baclofen failures" -- I didn't like this name for a thread, because I felt like it labelled people as "failures" if they couldn't tolerate the baclofen, which didn't seem fair.
But that really wasn't my point at all. It doesn't matter to me what or where people post their success or failures (bad word, bad word!). Maybe we should also start a thread on people who are somewhat successful on baclofen, but haven't hit their switch? Or maybe one on people who are successfully AF, but never hit their switch?
It's not really important to me -- my main point was that we cannot draw general conclusions about people who take baclofen based on an informal sample of self-selected respondents who have succeeded on reaching a "switch" on baclofen. If, for example, women in the dosage poll reached their switch point at about the same dosage level as men, is that significant if most women never get there, while most men get there and get there fast? (just a postulation -- not intended as a hypothesis). That's the kind of thing I was trying to point out. That's all.
