A member asked:

Can i tak xanix and zanaflex (tizanidine) together or even a few hours apart? i have bad tension headaches and a panic disorder

Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

It is safe: There is no drug interactions between xanax (alprazolam) and zanaflex. Tension type headaches are often misdiagnosed and frequently poorly managed. Your physician may determine that you need a prescription-strength medication to augment your Tension Type headaches treatment plan. See your PCP.
