Baclofen and atenelo: Should be Ok. May be a bit more drowsy,. Baclofen works in the spinal cord at monosynaptic/ polysynaptic afferent reflexes. May be a GABA analog. May have CNS effects and rarely can lower blood pressure . Atenelol is a B blocker it is cardioselective - specific for the heart. It has been associated with dizziness, fatigue. Take meds 2 hours apart and sit for 30-45 min after. f/u w/doc
