Post by surfshi on Sep 12^th, 2003, 1:33pm

Well got back from the new neuro today and you know hes really got it goin on now come on. You know hes good when the first thing out of his mouth is"What works for you." and he listened...Nope this guy didn't try to back out of the room and leave me hangin. We discussed the ripped up neck muscles that I've had Since my last cycle and he contributed it to muscle spasms. So I got some ___TIZANIDINE___.HAS any one used this b4? I'M not sure what to expect start at 2mg at night.The Verapamil was decreased by 50% since I"ve been ch free for almost a month now. and we both agreed to this, I was going to suggest it but he was already their...If I can regulate my sleep I may just get some of my life back. Good thing I looked at the calander thought the opto. Apt was today for the photo phobic in me. The world is starting to turn again for me. Their for a while I thought it was going to stop and let me off...Oh ya got a game plan for the "Oh Shit" (their Jewel it's now official K) returns... Surf

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Tizanidine is a short-acting drug for the acute and intermittent management of increased muscle tone associated with spasticity. The reduction of muscle tone that follows the oral administration of a single dose of tizanidine has its peak effect 1 to 2 hours after dosing, and the effect dissipates between 3 to 6 hours. Use must therefore be individualized, directed to those activities and times when relief of spasticity is most important and titrated to avoid intolerance. Evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of tizanidine is derived from a single dose study and from a seven week multiple dose study conducted in patients with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury, respectively.

Well, it might work for tension headaches...
