Yes, I was prescribed Tizanidine first of all. I worked well at relaxing my muscles, but in my case, it also made me fall asleep. Not for a full 8 hours, but for some hours. I even fell asleep while upright and walking. I had a minor child at home still during that time, so it really didn't work for us. One thing about tizanidine, they let me break up the tablets so I could try lower doses. Good vibes to you. Hope you find what you need.

One Physiatrist told me to take electrolytes for my muscle spasms. It took me years to learn what she meant most of all was that I take Magnesium (plus some others). I can't take magnesium supplements, but in other posts with Mayo's support groups I was told of a topical magnesium lotion or gel. I'm planning to buy some time soon and give that a try. It's worth it, for me to find things/supplements that I'm not loading up on my kidney's or stomach.
