**Sally, Tizanidine is almost the same as Baclofen. lt is used as a muscle-relaxant. For some - if works well but like Baclofen many find the side-effects make the problem of mobility worse. l have tried both - and they make me feel weak and feeble. For the last 2yrs l have been taking LDN and my GP prescribes Sativex spray. This ‘cocktail’ along with many supplements does keep me ticking on nicely. The LDN clears my brain - making me feel very alert** **and POSITIVE - which with SPMS is a good feeling. Sativex helps with pain and spasticity - with no nasty side-effects. l see on the MSRC newsletter that now Sweden have approved Sativex and use it also for pain relief with cancer patients.** **We all seem to react differently to meds - so it is worth giving Tizanidine a fair try. But if you feel your head is full of cotton wool - and legs too weak to enable you to stand - then you will know its not for you. l actually felt l had progressed so much that l would be wheel/chair bound 24/7 - until l decided to stop the Tizanidine/Baclofen.** **Best wishes** **Frances.**
