Question 1

why is it that baclofen interacts with clonazepam?took baclofen and felt more anxious. currently tapering off of 0.5mg clonazepam. gaba interaction?

Accepted Answer

Side effect: What you're describing is likely a side effect and not an interaction.  Klonopin should block anxiety symptoms, but, although baclofen is typically sedative, it causes anxiety in some people.  This is a paradoxical side effect and not an interaction.  Think twice before you taper off klonopin (tapering really isn't necessary due to the long 1/2 life); it's a good muscle relaxer. Stop the baclofen.

Question 8

can klonopin (clonazepam) and hydroxyzine have a bad interaction?

Accepted Answer

Be careful: They are both sedatives so if you took sufficiently high doses at bedtime you may cause yourself to stop breathing although in clinical practice that would be rare.  As long as you are not taking more than five milligrams of Clonazepam a day then any amount of Hydroxyzine up to about 100 mg a day would likely be tolerated. There are exceptions to these principles so talk to a doctor about this.
