In reply to got a zanaflex prescription; wish me luck, posted by JohnX2 on November 30, 2001, at 11:06:14
I think Zanaflex is working.The pain in my head is going down substantially,
I feel much less anxious, and I can sit still.
Plus my klonopin craving is gone.
I'm still a bit drowsy which can be solved
by reducing klonopin. ;)I hope this isn't another cruel joke.
