Suggest Remedy For Difficulty Sleeping After Stopping Tizanidine

Tinazidine withdrawal symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Tinazidine is a drug used as muscle relaxer, but also it is often used as a drug to promote good sleep in people who have sleeping problems.
So, your sleep problems are related to interruption of Tinazidine.
Dosage of Tinazidine is 4 to 8 mg/daily.
Epidural injections could help in improving your back issues, but, best thing to do about your vertebral column is to loose weight and exercise.
I think you should start again Tinazidine to promote good sleep and to stop it gradually ( tapper off ) instead of sudden stop.
I suggest you to discuss with your Doctor about above suggestions.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.


Follow up.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
You can use Tinazidine 4 mg before sleep for one month, then 2 mg before sleep for another month, after that, stop completely.
Remember, next time you stop a drug with central nervous system effects too, always taper it instead of stopping it otherwise it causes cold turkey.
Best regards.


You are welcome.

Glad I helped.
