Baclofen pseudopsychosis: Case report

Abstract

Sudden withdrawal of baclofen has been shown to provoke hallucinations. There has been no documented case showing hallucinations persisting during treatment over several years and responsive to subsequent reductions in dosage. Such a case is now reported. The chronicity of the symptoms originally suggested a psychotic illness, but this proved to be incorrect. The literature on baclofen toxicity is reviewed. © 1986, International Spinal Cord Society.
