Others have already suggested all the things I was going to say!

Plain magnesium (not mixed with any other minerals or electrolytes) at bedtime mostly seems to work for me, and that's available OTC.

Zanaflex rocks! it is short lived, and works great on those stubborn spasms. it will take a few days to really sink in and work. soak in a nice warm bath, and practice some yoga relaxation before you go to bed.

dont take Cipro while on Zanaflex, or at least let someone know you are on it. Cipro can cause the zanaflex to be more powerful, and cause the liver to work harder to clear it from the body.

I hope you slept better last night.

Thanks you guys.

I am always afraid when the doc adds to the many medicines that I already take.

I know they are the doctors but I do get online and enter all my meds to make sure there are no interactions.

I remind myself that doctors are human and they too make mistakes.

Thanks for you post Beth. I just don't know what the answer is either...

A Hammer??? I just hate being drugged up all the time...but lately even that isn't working!

Let's hope we all find some answers! Let's share, ok?
