Management of baclofen overdose is primarily supportive. Several studies have noted that hemodialysis can alleviate clinical symptoms of baclofen overdose and shorten the recovery time in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Low protein binding (31%) and low volume of distribution (2.4 l/kg) lead to efficient removal of baclofen by

by K Sheth 2024Per literature review, patients with ESRD have a 68% chance of developing baclofen toxicity and thus baclofen withdrawal [6]. Thus far, roughly
The half-life of baclofen in patients with CRF and ESRD is significantly increased baclofen could cause rapid and severe intoxication. Therefore, physicians should be aware of this possibility and it is necessary to avoid use or reduce baclofen dosage in patients with the impaired renal function and in finally HD may be an option for baclofen
As for everyone else ... life keeps adding on the 'happy' {sarcasm}.
My neurologist decided to prescribe a more powerful tool to manage the pain in my feet. So, he gave me a foot cream. What wasn't obvious was the non-prescribed 'side effects' of the foot cream which included ... (sigh) ...
Well, as my feet have been hurting like sons-a-bitches, I was slathering that cream on three and four times a day. It had minimal positive effect which was leagues ahead of the pain I was going through. Besides, it was foot cream. What was the worse that could happen?
Baclofen (2%) ~ [Lightheadedness or fainting, trouble seeing, severe tiredness, weakness],
Cyclobenzaprine (2%) ~ [Anxiety, restlessness, seeing or hearing things that are not there, severe drowsiness, fainting, or confusion],
Diclofenac (3%) ~ [Sudden or severe headache, or problems with vision, speech, or walking],
Gabapentin (6%) ~ [Behavior problems, aggression, restlessness, trouble concentrating, moodiness (especially in children), problems with coordination, shakiness, unsteadiness, unusual moods, or behaviors, thoughts of hurting yourself, feeling depressed, dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, tiredness],
Lidocaine (2%) ~ [which, somewhat stunningly, isn't trying to fuck with my head]
So I've been staggering around in a semi-lucid state for the past several days, unable to figure out why I couldn't do much, if any, writing. It took me complaining to my wife to provide some clarity.
I repeat - it is freaking foot cream!
I've stopped with the foot-crack and am back to dealing with the pain. Hopefully I'll be back to writing soon too.
