Started Taking Tizanidine. Felt Like Husband Was Next To Me Even Though I Did Not See Him. Due To Drug?
Hi...I just started taking tizanidine, and had weird things going on while I slept (dreams I guess) But what happen with me is I lost my Husband 21 months ago.. And I kept waking up feeling he was next to me! I was wide awake too, I could not see him but I know he was there ! Could this be from the drug ? Thanks Becky

Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
Thanks for posting your query. I am happy to address your questions. Tizanidine which is a muscle relaxant can have serious side effects, including fainting, mental/mood changes (such as hallucinations as you are currently experiencing), slow/irregular heartbeat, vision changes (such as blurred vision). Will recommend to tell your doctor right away. Please do write back in case you have follow up queries to ask. Thanks
