User Reviews for Zanaflex oral

ever since soma went to a control 5, I have been using Zanaflex, very sedating drug which helps, just give it a chance

It has helped my muscle spasms a lot. I can sleep better at night.

if I miss one does, I know it. I sure hope my body does not start needed more.

This is day 2 on tizanidine, after reading these reviews now I'm really scared, so far I have only experienced the sleepiness. I suffer from a stiff neck and a "pulling" sensation in my shoulder, the back of my neck, at the base of my skull always feels like its tearing, I have been experiencing this pain every day for over 6 months. I have been to many different doctors, physical therapy, chiropractor, massage therapist, ENT, and tried ibuprofen 600 mg 3 times a day, topical creams, amitriptyline and now I am trying Tizanidine, So far nothing has worked to even slightly give me some relief. I am so depressed over this, I am a 50 year old female who until 6 months ago was energetic and happy, now I do absolutely nothing because all movement is very painful.How long does it take for this medication to work?

my child has cerebral palsy and takes this med for muscle spasms. He has been waking up in the middle of the night laughing histerically. This emotional lability is hard to deal with in the middle of the night and no one is able to sleep. Has anyone else seen this effect?

I have found it to be very very helpful!

It is one of the better muscle relaxants I have used.

I would take the 4mg pills more often if they didn't make me drowsy. They DO help with muscular pain. I often take a quarter of one in the daytime to "take the edge off" As with many meds, long term use may require a dosage increase. If you take 2 at once, you will feel like jelly and sleep very well.

I take Zanaflex for parathesia/dyesthia, spasms/spacity from MS. It is a very good drug. The downside is it increases the already gross fatigue I am plagued with.

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICE A STRONG ODOR IN THIER URINE WHILE TAKING THIS DRUG ?

Works great, just does not last long. I have DISH and bad muscle spasms. I have bad dreams sometimes but it is better than the spasms.

just started taking this a month ago and its been good. makes me a bit sleepy but when halved it doesn't.

I take 4mg 3 times a day sometimes but usually just at bedtime for severe back spasms. I have to have water by the bed because I get very thirsty. I find I wake up after 4 hours of sleeping and sometimes have strange dreams. I can deal with these things because I feel better and have relief from the pain of the spasms. I started taking Cymbalta as well and the two together are great for me. I have taken Zanaflex since 2003.
