Even still, I take at least 30 mg during the day and function fine.

It no longer really fully relieves the spasticity, but I function and can deal with it. At least I'm not getting "frozen" in a position anymore!

Oh I can't take Flexeril at all either. Knocks me on my butt and I feel like I have a hangover the next day! I've just started Zanaflex, so the jury is still out. I know my balance is off more with it. I have become aquainted with my walls more in the past few days!
