I've read with interest the posts mentioning Tizanidine for the leg twitching at night. I have this problem off and on, but when it's occurring, it feels dreadful, and is impossible to sleep. I was given Madopar (a Parkinson's medication) for 'restless legs syndrome'; as the drs here didn't seem to realise that it was related to the TM - (even though I did say that it's only happened to me since the TM hit). Anyway; I was mentioning to my gp the Tizanidine that was mentioned on this list, and she tried looking it up, but couldn't find anything to do with it. I wonder if this is a brand name that may be specific to USA? If so, would someone please let me know what the name of the actual content of the drug is? Any relief from this awful night-time legs jumping about and twitching, and the electrical feeling down my back and legs would be much appreciated. Thanks. Kathryn Keen NSW Australia
