Dyskinesia and psychosis in a patient following baclofen withdrawal

V Kirubakaran, D Mayfield and S Rengachary

A paraplegic man with no history of psychiatric illness developed psychosis and dyskinesia following abrupt withdrawal of baclofen; the symptoms resolved 72 hours after resumption of the drug. The psychosis and dyskinesia may have been a manifestation of baclofen's alteration of cerebral dopaminergic mechanisms.
