Withdrawal Syndromes

This chapter covers the treatment of withdrawal syndromes associated with alcohol, opioids, stimulants, baclofen, and nicotine. The approach to refractory withdrawal delirium is discussed, as well as the management of serious withdrawal syndromes that are neurology-specific, such as baclofen withdrawal. Withdrawal syndromes are serious and may require extensive pharmacotherapy. The safety of the patient must be balanced against the risks and side effects of the medications administered to control the agitation. Prior alcoholism accounts for the overwhelming proportion of patients with withdrawal syndromes. The drugs used for treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome include benzodiazepines, dexmedetomidine, and propofol. The prevalence of opioid withdrawal is increasing.

Progressive Weakness

Baclofen is a common medication used as a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic. Baclofen-withdrawal syndrome has many symptoms such as sedation, somnolence, and weakness but can include psychological symptoms. We present a 62-year-old female whose oral baclofen was not continued at a skilled nursing facility after discharge following inpatient surgery that led to the development of altered mental status and respiratory insufficiency necessitating intensive care unit admission. Abrupt cessation of baclofen, no matter the mode of administration to the patient, can lead to baclofen-withdrawal syndrome.
