Hello,

Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant drug. You were probably given it for the back pain.

If you had such a reaction to the taking half a pill, then you probably need to not take any more of it. Let your doctor know about your reaction to the medicine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
