clonazepam, gabapentin and tizanidine together

[Phoebe]

Hi. New here, first posting, so kindly excuse any ignorance or clumsiness. I take 2mgs clonazepam and 600 mgs gabapentin 3x per day for anxiety. I was having a bad day, so i decided to hunt through the medicine cabinet for anything interesting to add to the mix. I found a bottle of tizanidine prescribed for muscle spasms. I took three of the 4mg pills without even looking at the dosage or doing any research (quite stupid and entirely not my usual M.O.). Feeling calm and a bit drowsy so far, but now concerned about the high dosage of tizanidine. I just read on your forums that it can counter affect the Gaba. Can anyone tell me what to expect?

Expect that as tizanidine has a tranquilizing effect and at triple the dose when you aren't accustomed to it you'll be knocked out for a few hours.
