You can go ahead and take the muscle relaxer. But since you took the maximum dose of ibuprofen, I would hold off on the Tylenol 3 until 2 1/2 to 3 hours have passed. Any sooner and it's a possibility you'll either make the headache worse or get nauseated. Just the zanaflex itself may well help your headache.
