Hi all!
I am having major side affects from Tizanidine. I've been taking this med over a year! Enough is enough! I cant accomplish my daily goals. All I want to do is sleep! Other side affects is dry mouth, foggy mind. When I transfer to my wheelchair, fast hart beat, blood pressure goes down, dizziness. Also, my tummy has not been the same since I started taking it.
My NP had started me slow on it. Then up me to 4mg 4x a day. I went back to see her to tell her my issues. She referred me to spasticity.
Doctor told me to lower the dosage a little and see how it goes.
I started taking 4mg in the morning, 2mg noon, 2mg evening, 2mg at night. Still felt the same! He also bump my baclofen 25mg 4x a day, but spasms got worse with 25mg so went back to 20mg.
I went back to complaint and got ignored by a different spasticity doctor. He said only thing he can do is inject Botox. So I went along with the Botox. He told me to continue on meds. He also recommended the baclofen pump but I said no.
I have an appointment on the 25th of this month. Can anyone recommend any alternative medication? I searched here and web. A lot of people complain about side affects of this medication. It does work for my spasms , but hate the side affects.
My current meds prescribed
Baclofen 20mg 4x a day
Diazepam 10mg 4x a day
Tizanidine 4mg 4x a day
Colace 100mg 2x a day
C3 Incomplete
T6 Complete
