title: Baclofen overdose.
abstract: Reported is a case of baclofen overdose in a 23-year-old woman. The patient manifested typical symptoms of baclofen overdose, including hypotonia, respiratory depression, and seizures. She was treated successfully with positive pressure ventilation, sedation, and intravenous antibiotics, and was discharged from the hospital on the 14th day following admission with no residual neurological signs, to be followed up in medical and psychiatric outpatient clinics. As baclofen becomes increasingly popular in the treatment of muscle spasm in certain neurological disorders, its availability for misuse increases.
