Hi there,

First off, if you belong to both CPPARENT and C-PALSY, my apologies for the crosspost. I am writing because I began to take Zanaflex (Tizanidine) about 2 weeks ago to deal with pain and spasticity. It is causing me great problems. I feel like I am high on the medication. The doctor put me on 4 mg 4 times a day, but I have to work up to that dose over 12 days, and I am not even there yet. I have never felt this tired or this confused on an antispasmodic before. I have tried to break the capsules in half to minimize side effects, but it doesn't work. 

Has anyone had this experience before? I have taken lots of antispasmodics before and this has never happened to me...

The doctor says he will do Botox injections if the medicine did not work, but I didn't expect such an adverse reaction.

Has anyone had a similar experience with Zanaflex?

Thanks
Jenn
