Anyone familiar with Zanaflex?

[Chemical_Boy]

I got Zanaflex as a muscle relaxer this time instead of flexeril. Out of flexeril, baclofen, soma, and norflex, the only ones that I got any effect from was the soma and norflex. Baclofen actually gave me a bit of a headache, and flexeril doesn't seem to do anything, either as a potentiator or by it's self. Even at higher doses.
I didn't get anything worthwhile out of soma by it's self or mixed with booze. It did help me sleep a bit, so that is kind of nice. Also, I have never tried it with opiates so I can't judge there (truth is I don't really get potentiation from anything except more opiates in my experience. Well, maybe phenergen. . .) Same thing with norflex. The help with sleep makes them worthwhile to take in my opinion, but other than that I don't really get the attraction to muscle relaxers.

I am curious about anything that I haven't tried though, and since Zanaflex falls under that category, I would appreciate any tidbits anyone has to share.

It never helped with my pain, or potentiated anything for me.

I take them, say 3 or 4 will give me the rolly-polly limb feeling. Add some benzo and I'm ready for the crib and blanket.

I was on zanaflex for awhile. Was taking 6mg three times daily, and it doesn't do shit. I worked for like a week or so, then just sorta fizzled out. No muscle relaxation, no pain reduction, and definately no euphoria. Just makes you sleepy and gives you dry mouth from hell. It's not even a good potentiator. Go back to your doc and see if he'll give you back your flexeril. It's a hell of a lot better as a muscle relaxer/pain reducer, and it's also a good potentiator (at least for hydro and oxy, not sure about other opiates).

There's also a difference between the capsules and the tablets. Tablets hit you harder and capsules seem to last a bit longer, but with less bite.
