Baclofen cautions

Post by NHE »

The Mayo Clinic reports that withdrawal from baclofen must be done in a tapered protocol in order to avoid severe side effects as discussed below.

“Do not suddenly stop using this medicine without checking first with your doctor. You may need to slowly decrease your dose before stopping it completely. Unwanted side effects (eg, hallucinations, seizures, high fever, rhabdomyolysis) may occur if baclofen is stopped suddenly.”
