Muscle relaxer zanaflex

Hi, I use to take Flexeril but when my pain management Dr put me on tramadol everyday then my primary care Dr too me off Flexeril because he said it would make me too tired… Umm I was taking it for sleep!! Anyway I’m getting better sleep taking 5-htp, melatonin and CBD. But I’m wanting to start using a muscle relaxer again (it did help some with my pain) to hopefully not have to take as much tramadol as I am. I was just wondering if anyone has tried the one called zanaflex.

I have been using zanaflex for years. I do take it at night and it helps me sleep. I also use it sometimes during the day. I take it when I haven’t slept well and know I need a nap, or when my muscles are really tense. If I am going to be driving or doing something that takes concentration–then I don’t take it . I really can’t see myself not using it.

Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it! I have another appt with my primary Dr in March so I’ll ask about it then.
