RE: Re; Flora/ / Meds are kicking my butt

Flora,

You are absolutely correct. A year ago this month, I had a massive

seizure while on vacation in Durango, CO. Because of this, I had to

leave my job, which required driving 500 miles per day five days per

week delivering nuclear medicine to hospitals and imaging clinics. At

that time, I was on 80 mg Baclofen per day. Baclofen lowers the

threshold for seizures which required the Baclofen dosage to be lowered

to 60 mg and Zanaflex was prescribed as a substitute. Thankfully I have

not had another seizure since and DOT does not permit me to haul

hazardous material any more. So you can see the adjustment I went

through when I give up a 5000 dollar a month income for SSDI. Now I am

pretty much confined to a walker, wheelchair, and scooter.

Have a great day!

Re; / Meds are kicking my butt

you said you take:

I take 60 mg Baclofen per day, 8 mg Tizanidine per

day,

Why both, when I think they are the same Tizanidine is a generic for

zanaflex. just wondering why. Flora
