It is a generic of zanaflex. Baclofen works too.

Subject: [TMIC] Tizanidine
(Sorry for the previous post; I've tried to put this through
earlier a
couple of times... looks like it's going through now, so maybe I
made an
error before... anyway this is my query below)..
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.
