Word of advice on the tizanidine...don't take it during the day until you know whether it makes you drowsy. Or take with a lot of caffeine. I have found if I take it I need an extra cup or two of coffee or coke zero.

I take my all-over & muscle relaxant (clonazepam) at night. It knocks me out cold within half an hour or so. It never fails, and a good side-effect is... I can sleep! Thank God! Otherwise I'd sleep like 1 short night (4-6H) in 2 days. Without fail. And that's no good.

It works at night and it still has its effect during the day for sure.
