I had to work my way up to the 4mg of Zanaflex that is for sure.
Started out with 2 mg at bedtime, then 2 mg at 6pm and 2mg at bedtime.
Couldn't handle the 2mg at 6pm......I fell asleep talking to my sister-in-law,
was a tad embarrassing.
So used the 2mg at bedtime then went to 4mg at bedtime.
I think I get a better sleep.
Apparently the effects of it are supposed to wear off in about 3 hours or so.
With the effects it had on Todd, it just goes to show that we are all not built
the same.

The Zanaflex @ 4 mg made me sleep for 17 hours.
Now trying, Methocarbam @ 500 mg at night.
Saw an Urology, will be getting a new medication from the pharmacy, but
don't know the name yet.
He does have other patients that have TM.
Will let everyone know what medication that I do good with, once we
find out what that is. lol
Hope everyone is doing better, today,

Rebecca,
There is also the medication Zanaflex. It helps with spasms as well.
I take the 40 mg of Baclofen a day then I take 4 mg of Zanaflex at
bedtime too.
There are others who do take more Zanaflex as well.
However both the Zanaflex and the Baclofen can affect your liver
enzymes so you will need to have them checked regularly as well.

Thanks everyone about the baclofen dosage. I use it to stop my
spasms in leg and back. At one time amputation was discussed. Then a baclofen
pump. That was shot down because of open bed wounds. So botox and baclofen are
going to be tried.The dosage will be 10mg 2X a day of baclofen do not know
about botox.
