Danny, That seems like a lot of potassium. I get check for potassium and it changes from time to time. Right now I am taking 10 mg twice a day, but I was taking 20 mg twice a day, because I take a water pill. I have had to go to the ER because my potassium was too low and I would be so tired.
What is tizanidine? I looked it up and it was sent to be a short acting muscle relaxant. Is this a new medication? Dana C-4-5, 38 years post In a message dated 10/1/2012 4:14:44 P.M.

Sure, bananas are okay, but it is vital not to take too much potassium. I am always borderline low and he didn't want me on supplements. He told me it could be dangerous, but I can't remember exactly why any longer. Just my two cents.

Athletes increase potassium to control cramps and spasms. Would that work to control spasms in a quad? Probably a dumb question, but hey, my bulb isn't too bright! Sent from my iPad
