A member asked:
Is it safe to mix two different muscle relaxers i.e. baclofen and tizanidine. not like, should i? i'm not gonna. just wondering

Safe but necessary?: These two work quite differently and can be combined if necessary for refractory spasms. Both medications cause sedation and related cognitive effects however, also potentially lower blood pressure, so care and good judgement is needed. Talk to your prescribing doctor about why you want to do this. If you dont have a clear diagnosis, I suggest a specialist consult. Let me know if you need help.
