Baclofen Withdrawal–Induced Psychosis in the Setting of Renal Insufficiency
Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2022 Baclofen is used to treat muscle spasticity, acting at GABA B receptors in the central nervous system. The abrupt cessation of baclofen causes baclofen withdrawal–induced psychosis. The risk is exacerbated if the patient has renal insufficiency or if the
