A member asked:
Can tizanidine cause seizures? had a grand mal a few days ago while on this drug. no history of seizures except two febral ones when i was young

Unlikely,but: Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant used for.muscle spasms seen in multiple sclerosis and simllar disorders.It acts centrally on the brain and is associated with neurological side effects. So far it does.Not appear seizures have been reported, but considering its mode of action on the brain, it doesn't,t seem possible.
