Patients with CKD and ESRD are at significant risk from baclofen accumulation and toxicity. The most common complaints are non-specific: drowsiness, headache
baclofen-induced neurotoxicity in a patient with end stage renal disease: Case Iatrogenic baclofen neurotoxicity in ESRD: [16] recognition and
Baclofen, an anti-spasmodic drug, can cause serious neurological ESRD (chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease). Sparks
Hydroxyzine May cause excessive sedation in ESRD. Accumulates in ESRD. Cetirizine is the active metabolite of hydoxyzine.
Most nephrologists consider baclofen to be a drug that should not be used in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
A high suspicion for pharmacological causes of delirium is needed in the end stage renal disease (ESRD). Baclofen is known but under recognized cause of acute delirium in ESRD patients.

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],

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]

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.
