Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your cocnern. Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant and basically a beta 2 agonist. It has some side effects which are more pronounced in some people like dry mouth, asthenia, dizziness, somnolence, blurred vision. urinary discomfort and frequency , vomiting , constipation etc. YOu may stop the drug and report your symptoms to your doctor. They will consider you for another muscle relaxant if need be, otherwise simple tylenol would be better.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
