Good morning people,

I have finally got to start on Tizanidine, something that is going to help with leg spasms and hopefully go someway to relieving the constant fatigue.

Its a new drug for me. I have been through the usual candidates without much success.

 

It is far to early to make any comment at all on it, so fingers crossed.

 

If any one else has been down this route I would be interested to hear.

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found?

The same old fears.

Hi Paul

 

After all the trouble Baclofen caused you, I'm glad you have a new med on board to try and help your symptoms. Go steady, learn the PIL by heart (not) and keep your doctor up to speed. (It seems I had cliché curry for tea).

 

I've been on Baclofen a long while but, having changed GP recently, I've every confidence that good care will be taken of my one remaining kidney - many of these drugs are off limits to me now.

 

Take care

Thanks Shirl.

So far no problems.

Sleep is not as good, but that could be down to anything.

Once I become less conscious of taking it then I'll get a better idea of how it's working.

    • Tizanidine for Sleep

      Hi all, Sorry for going AWOL, I have not really been up to being sociable recently. I have ongoing issues with fatigue, I feel worn out all the time, from the moment I wake to the moment I finally go to sleep, such as it is. My neurologist is aiming to tackle this by improving my sleep so that I am less tired during the day. With this in mind, he has recommended I take 2 to 4mg of Tizanidine in the evening. If that is not successful then perhaps try a small dose of Diazepam.   Anyone else being down this route and had some experience?   It is also called Zanaflex. I have been reading up on it and one of the side effects is drowsiness and tiredness, the very thing I am trying to overcome. So I am a bit puzzled.   Paul
