For those that are on tizanidine why do you take it instead of baclofen? What does it do differently?

I use large doses of both for spasticity.

I used it but it didn't work, also used baclofen but it made the spasticity worse. I now take Robaxin 750mg 3 times a day which works wonders.

I started on Tizanidine but found I am allergic to it

@A MyMSTeam Member Robaxin just happened to be the next one in line I guess so we tried it. I haven't had any side effects from it, just relief from the spasticity.

Tizzy made me dizzy! Baclofen did not. It's up to you and how each feels imho.
