I love this muscle relaxer! It really helps me. Side effects for me are dry mouth, sleeping, dizziness, loss of balance.

the only muscle relaxant i've tried that works, better than the last one which was soma, or the one before that, flexeril. flexeril affected my walking and soma my digestion.

the zanaflex brings some mild tremor but i take valium; that seems to help.

this muscle relaxant works to help the long acting pain med find the pain better.
