How Long Does Zanaflex

Updated

I was taking zanaflex 3 times a day for only 5-7 days. Since stopping I have had anxiety and panic attacks. The dosage was 2mg each time. I know this seems petty but I feel as if I'm having withdraws. I ended up in the ER from a panic attack and now I'm wondering if it's because I stopped am taking zanaflex? I've never had this feeling and it's a feeling I can't overcome. How long does withdraws last?

I'm sorry about the problems you're having.

However, this medication doesn't usually cause that, especially after such a low dose for such a short period of time.

Its just a muscle relaxant, so it isn't habit forming and the FDA lists its typical side effects as including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache and dry mouth.

Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your doctor?

I'm not on any other medications. I've consulted my doctor and each day gets better.
