I found Tizanidine Worked better for me. But it can make you feel drowsy.

I am on it, got prescribed for it for muscle spasms by my pain doctor. It doesn’t work at all as a muscle relaxant. Side effects for me is severe migraine and appears to induce more stronger muscle spasms.

I don’t c a difference when I take it either and when I do take it with Co codamol I feel space out or something 🤔😭

I am not "on" it, but take it in addition to my others because it does so little. It only helps if I am taking my other meds and having an exceptionally bad day. Then adding to all else seems to help. Mostly it seems pretty weak.
