I used to take 8 mg of tizanidine and it really helped ,but one of the side effects were drowsiness. That really affected me it was hard to stay up while steering my electric chair.

Has anyone else had problems with tizandine?

Do you know any solutions or alternatives

Hey, new here and see there are so many applicable topics: T6-7 complete had a neurologist Rx Tizanidine prior to considering the ITB, after 5 days my blood pressure dropped to severe low, I was also on Micardis to lower BP due to pain, however neurologist failed to mention the two just don't mesh. In the end they implanted the 'pump', it's been 2 years with the ITB and I have yet to experience positive outcomes, the negatives for me out weigh positives, considering removal.
