Are Confusion, Anxiety And Dizziness The Side Effects Of Baclofen?
baclofen allergic reaction? I have had the following problems confusion anxiety severe skin rash and itching thought I had a psoriasis flare up so maybe it was a rash as treating with Stelara and it has not went away ringing of ears numbness of skin difficulty swallowing at times loss of taste chattering of teeth or clenching jaw at times cannot think or reason tiredness trouble sleeping dizziness dexterity off meaning cannot do the things I used to getting ill with flu like symptoms and vomiting off and on Was wondering if this is my problem? My question is if I wean off this and it was my problem will the symptoms still persist or do they go back the way I was before or will I be living in this forever? I have been weaning and had my last dose 5 days ago. How long will it be till I notice weather that was it or not? Was on Baclofen since mid August using 10 mg twice a day

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have confusion, anxiety and dizziness the side effects of Baclofen, Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like middle ear infection , some kind of growth in middle ear or fluid in middle ear ( Meniere's disease ) . You should not ignore this , because sometimes the condition get complicated.The symptoms can also occur due to side effects of baclofen , so consult doctor , who prescribe this drug , who may alter the dose or prescribe substitute . I would suggest you to start with antibiotics, steroids and labrynthine sedatives for 5 to 7 weeks. you should go for vestibular rehabilitation exercises. You should consult with your ENT specialist and get evaluated. Doctor may order audiometry test and tuning fork test and treat it accordingly. Avoid touching and pricking it with any sharp object.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
