> does [tizanidine] make you sleepy?
No; I wish it did. I usually take it at bedtime or during the night
to relax rock hard thigh muscles, another manifestation of excess
tone and one that does not bother me out of bed.
My baclofen pump keeps my legs from jerking. The days immediately
before my pump would alarm to signal a low reservoir, the pump
becomes less effective, and my legs kick like crazy - reach for the
tizanidine! But that tells me it is the pump that saves me. I gave
up on the baclofen ever solving my excess tone problem in the lower
leg where tizanidine is also ineffective, but I'll keep it for this
jerking.
