note- baclofen is a non-opiod muscle relaxant for pts with Cerebral Palsy and other related diseases. Frequently pts are taking this long-term and will experience withdrawal if they are stopped suddenly
Do we want to add all of the other common withdrawal syndromes? (like seratonin syndrome that is an outcome of stopping SSRI)
Note for the future: other withdrawal syndrome terms (e.g. "serotonin syndrome") will be created on an "as needed" basis.
Thank you @sabrinatoro and @nicolevasilevsky
