User Reviews for tizanidine oral

releif some what. enough to get some sleep

I took this medication to treat back spasms due to prior back injuries. While on this medication I was unable to focus, experienced anxiety, and was overly emotional. These symptoms were experienced to the point of interfering with daily activities. I wouldn't recommend taking this drug unless it is your only option, especially while caring for children, operating a vehicle, or participating in activities which require intense concentration.

this medication does not worke 4 me have back/legg spasm...

I have been taking this medication every night for over three years. I have been using it for migraine headaches. I haven't had a migraine since I started taking it.

after my injury i started feeling "knots" in my lower back and leg. after taking this the knots are smaller and less frequent. i seldom feel like im sleeping, sitting or laying on rocks anymore

I take this medication because of tension in my shoulders/neck which caused migraines. The headaches are less severe now, but I still have alot of tension in my shoulders and neck. It does make you drowsy so its best to take at nighttime. So for mild tension it works, but for really stiff muscles, a good massage feels much better :)

A noticable difference Concidering

I've been using this for neck spasms for 4 months, 3xday, 40mg Does nothing. Doctor upped it to 4xday, to "maximum dosage". I'll let you know how it goes.

I have MS and the leg spasticity makes it very hard to sleep. Or even work at my desk for that matter. This med has really made things better. I have had enough to combat...I really am glad to be on the medication. I really havent noticed any adverse effects at this time.

If I take this med at night, I find I am waking up after just a few hours sleep.Then I don't know where I am!! Also my hands are swollen every day,I am not taking it today to see if thats the cause!!

If you have high blood pressure or hypertension DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. Also don't drive or work after taking the pills. It will KNOCK you out cold for four hours. Take it only at night or if you need a nap. I notice I drool more in my sleep when I take it. This medication is addictive, but it helps you sleep at night. Just don't take it if you have hypertension or HPB.

I have only just started taking this medication just last week and have noticed that it works great for about 4 hours, but after that my spasms come back with a vengence. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and the cyclobenzeprine that I was on didnt do the job, this helps somewhat, but its still difficult for me to sleep at night. I still feel the pain and stiffness, but not as bad.

It helps, it just seems to wear off very quickly.
