Tizanidine Withdrawal: A Potential Trigger for Stress Cardiomyopathy

This case report highlights the potential complications associated with the abrupt discontinuation of tizanidine, a muscle relaxant. The researchers describe a 53-year-old patient who experienced serious tizanidine withdrawal symptoms after long-term high-dose treatment in the context of stress cardiomyopathy.
