A member asked:
I have ms and have been taking amitriptyline an was prescribed zanaflex (tizanidine) for spasms, is it ok to take them at the same time?

Yes: There is a chance of increased sedation taking them together. Take them when you are home so you can be prepared for any side effects. Discuss with you doc as well.

Might cause sedation: Combining the two might give you some excess sedation. Otherwise that should be ok.

No real problem: But, both can cause adverse effect of drowsiness, and even dizziness, and additive issues may prevent safe driving or use of power equipment.
