## I was prescribed tizanidine for muscle pain will this medication trigger my anxiety ## I wouldn't think it would. Everyone is different but this is a muscle relaxer and therefore has some sedating properties associated with it. If anything I would think it may calm you down some. I've taken it for years and never had an issue with it causing anxiety ## How are you doing on it, Susie? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Are you on any other medications?

round whit pill, with e 44 on on side and a criss cross on the other. This is a SKELETAL MUSCLE RELAXANT ## This medication is also known as Zanaflex ## What other drug is in my tizanidine? ## Nothing. That is the active ingredient. If you want information on the inactive ingredients, then that depends on what company manufactures the pills you are taking. While inactive ingredients are considered by the FDA to be 'medically inactive', they do sometimes have an effect on some people, so finding a generic manufactured by a different company can help. Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness and dry mouth. ## I need to know what drug it is tainted wth that effects the heart very bad.

I've been experiencing severe pain on the entire left side of my mouth, specifically intensifying around the bottom back tooth on the left side. I'm curious if anyone has tried using Tizanidine for managing tooth pain and would appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice on this approach? ## Hello, Tissua! Tizanidine is in a class of medications called skeletal muscle relaxants and is used to treat the types of pain associated with strains, sprains and spasms. It works by slowing action in the brain and nervous system to allow the muscles to relax. That said, Tizanidine is not indicated for use in managing pain related to toothaches. Ref: MedlinePlus It would probably be best to see your dentist for an appropriate medication and treatment to help alleviate the root c...

I suspect my husband is insufflating pills. I found a bunch of small pills with E44 on one side and lines on the other side. Could he be making himself feel high off of these pills because they are in the same box as a broken credit card and a cut in half straw. ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? I can't say as to whether or not he's tried getting high from them, but these tablets won't do that. It is just a muscle relaxant and its common side effects usually include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Have you talked to him about it?

I was prescribed Tizanidine 4 mg and took 30 within a 4 week span. How long would this amount take to get out of my body? Any info appreciated! ## Hello, Beezer! How are you? The FDA classifies Tizanidine as a muscle relaxant, so there is no reason to worry about being on it. It is not addictive or habit forming. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Did you have a bad reaction to it? ## I had an awful reaction to this drug. Combined with my blood pressure medicine (Bystolic) I took one of the Tizandine in the evening - have fibromyalgia and restless leg syndrome. May husband found me passed out in the bathroom with blood flowing from my head. Evidently I passed out when I went into the bathroom during the night. I have a huge scar on m...

Is Soma a good muscle relaxer? Right now I'm taking Tizanidine which is not working very good. I use to take Soma but they were cutting that out so I just asked for something else. Is DAN 5658 any better? ## No Dan 5658 is not SOMA. They do however make a decent SOMA ## Cyclobenzaprine is a bit stronger than Tizanidine, but it really depends on how well it works for you. Soma is the strongest available, it contains Carisoprodol, but due to how often it is abused, many doctors will no longer prescribe it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of muscle relaxants as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Have you tried taking it, yet?

What is the difference between these 2 pills? I never had a problem with the smaller APO TI 4. But the other (U 169) i get extremely itchy and feel like it will never stop. My pharmacy only carries the U 169 now. HELP. ## Hello, PJ! How are you? They are both listed as containing 4mgs of Tizanidine, which is a muscle relaxant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. However, the inactive ingredients may be different and there might be one in the U 169 tablet that's manufactured by Unichem that you are allergic to.

I am on several medications and trying to see if grapefruit is going to interact with any of them I'm not very good at using the web so was looking for some help. I am on baclofen, clonazepam, gabapentin, morphine sulfate, omeprazole, oxybutynin, tizanidine, trazadone, and enoxaparin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ## Hello, Moe! How are you? Yes, grapefruit can interact with Trazodone and Oxybutynin by increasing how much of them you absorb. This could cause you to experience more side effects, than usual, which may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and blurry vision. It would be best to be cautious and only indulge in grapefruit, if your medical provider approves. Is there anything else I can help with? ## How longer will grape juice shows its effects on oxy...

Can your please tell me the difference between: U169 and R180 I was taking U169 but when I got my new medicine I noticed the shape was different and the number on the new pill had R180. Can you please tell me the difference between the two before I take the R180. Thank you. ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? They both contain 4mgs of the muscle relaxant Tizanidine, they have just been manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies, which is very normal with generics.
