Mag,

I currently take Zanaflex, but only at night due to daytime somnolence.
Everyone's experience with meds that alster brain/spinal chemistry are bound
to be different--no to people are alike--but your experience with Z-flex
mirrors mine with the sleep aid Ambien (hallucinations, etc.).  My biggest
complaints with Zanaflex are urinary retention, horrible "dry-mouth" and the
inability to be fully alert should there be a night-time emergency.  Oh, the
efficacy as an anti-spasmodic is dose-related and there is a tendency
towards tolerance.

Did I tell you folks that I tried Zanaflex again since I could not recall
why
I stopped taking it before??  Oh boy, did I ever find out! It made me
hallucinate! paintings were coming to life, people were walking in ponds
where there are no people! Trees and bushes loomed out at me, full sized!

I've also been trying another medication; but it is making me too sleepy,
and
also I didn't know whether it is the med., or I'm getting worse, but part of
my neck feels numb. Haloperidol is the name. anybody here take it?
