U are so right, this can become habit forming , and makes a person that have emotional problems a little too drugged, people get hooked on lots of things and parents and mates find out the hard way whenever someone is hooked on this and other drugs. I could see using this for awhile but not for months
U have the right to ask your wife about this medecine, I most definitely would mine, also seen too many youth and adults become addicted to medecine s and it destroys the whole family
I have taken it, and does nothing why?
It is a muscle relaxer. All you have to do is look the drug up on the internet, and it will tell you what it is and what it is used for.
this med did real good for awhile,,I would be out within 10 to 15 mins,,then it stopped working,,I quit taking for days,,and sometimes wks,,and then try it again and it just does not work,,,Icant understand why,,does anyone no??.I am supposed to take it 3 times a day 4mg,,but I would mostly take 2 at night to be able to sleep...now it just want do anything!!,advice please???
I was just prescribed this medication because I have severe muscle knots in my neck and migraines almost daily. It was prescribed by my neurologist. It can be prescribed for many things according to my Dr. Please ask your wife and tell her how concerned you are. :)
You are right on the money with your response. I was recently prescribed this medicine for the pain I have been suffering since 2000 and the symptoms were worsened from 2 auto accidents, which were not my fault. My body has been altered with continuous pain, which led me to depression and anxiety. I wanted to end it all because of the pain and all the other symptoms. I took opioids, for over a decade. I am so much happier now, my quality of life is great most days. My entire family has known of my medical history. Taking medicine and seeing a doctor is not something you can hide. You get statements in the mail. You have reminder calls. When someone's life has been altered, you cannot hide that. I tried to hide my depression and anxiety, until I tried to take my life due to the pain, depression and anxiety. I still fight anxiety and depression, however I do not use any opioids, just this muscle relaxer and a few more for anxiety and depression, in which I am monitored monthly by my doctors. Without starting this medicine this week, I continued to feel helpless and my pain would continue and bring me down. It is still hard for me to leave my house, because I am just afraid. I enjoyed your response to some of these folks. It seems that people think the worst of someone that just may not know or have ever used a computer, however could be learning it. Yes, we have folks that can ask on these sights and do not know how to get in there and research online. My mother is one. It is always a witch hunt. Poor guy asked for help and was crucified for it. Sir, you are a good man and don't be afraid to ask questions to your wife. Keep communication open. She may have had something happen and didn't want to talk about it yet. I know I have done that. Folks take really good care of yourselves. I am happy you have something to help with restless leg syndrome, I know how that feels. IT HURTS! And always at night.. Take care.
I fill you went way over board he is worried. I would be to if I'm married an my wife wasn't letting me know she was using any form of meds an how do you get abuse out of it take your non scene some where else he had every reason for worry its ppl like you is why guys like us have to worry so go be un happy else where
Its a muscle relaxed.Also it helps with stress in your arm..neck..shoulders...etc..and it helps you redt at night.No need to worry about this med.Now what are you going to do to help take the stress and pressure off your wife she is experiencing??
I take it. It doesn't make you high. It makes you sleepy. It's a muscle relaxant, not a narcotic, and it gets to the cause of the pain, not just masking it. Since it's not a pain killer, it can't mask pain. The relief from some muscle spasms can be astounding. What it doesn't do is get to the cause of the muscle spasms, and it isn't an anti-inflammatory. But by a great stroke of luck, it MAY have some protective value to the intestinal tract if one is also taking ibuprofen, Aleve, etc. some people will abuse anything. A young man at my college heard the song "mellow "Yellow," and decided it was referring to banana skins. He ground some up and shot up with it. He got sepsis from it and died. That doesn't make bananas dangerous. I'm sure people have tried to abuse tizanidine, but in this drug's case, the problem is in the attempt, not the drug.
Good for you and for the concerned husband!
Did anyone think that he might just be concerned about his wife? Maybe YOU should not judge!
Is Tizanidine hcl 2MG used to treat a high parathyroid condition? I was getting vitamin "D" but Caremark has changed it to Tizanidine hcl 2MG.
