Has anyone experienced low blood pressure while taking Zanaflex? The doc put me on it and I felt like it worked for my headaches and muscles, but I also sporadically experienced very low blood pressure after taking Zanaflex. This morning I felt lightheaded, dizzy and started seeing white stars. I've never passed out before, but that probably had to be the closest I ever came to it.

It's too bad I can't take it anymore. I usually tolerate medicine pretty well. Will talk to Dr. K about an alternative therapy.

Zanaflex didn't ever make my blood pressure dip, but I was just reading up on it, and came across references that it can do so in many people. Sorry it didn't work for you, but hopefully something else will be a good fit without that effect.
