Jeanne: I agree that Lyrica gives you the munchies....however after putting on some weight I quickly lost it...my secret....keep nothing you like to eat in your house and try not to go out to eat. Lyrica has been a help but it feels like the other med is acting like a booster shot....hopefully a long term booster shot...when you start to feel better, it is much worse to start feeling bad again. Thanks! Rob

What are the side effects of the med? I found (here we go again! that the Lyrica starts working in about 20 minutes and the worse side effect I found is weight gain and other than that, it works pretty well, also. It's going to be interesting to see how the Zanaflex works!!

The drugs name is Tizanidine or Zanaflex. Do any of you take it or have you previously taken it. I have just started and am not up to the normal dose yet...however I am finding a noticable improvement in the banding. It is interesting that when I first started taking Lyrica I also noticed an improvement that has since not been so pronounced! Thanks! Rob in New Jersey
