Took Tizandine this morning (it's prn for fibromyalgia), and I don't know, either I lost my tolerance or the stuff or I'm just a ton more affected by the pills my pharmacy's new manufacturer is using (my pharmacy is now constantly in flux, computers, text alerts, the same prescription looking different 3 months in a row.). Hopefully, it settles down soon.
I forget the dosage of Tizandine as I have it it my signature, but I can take up to 4 pills (either spaced throughout the day or 2 or even all of them at once.). I do remember instantces of 4 pills making me a bit drowsy (nothing a coffee wouldn't lift), but today, I was practically senseless on the stuff.
Yes, I do have a prescription that has to bee from another manufacturer because it looks different. Maybe tomorrow I've feel like googling images of tizaznidine in the dose I was prescribed, but my pharmacy very thororough, and I don't think they made any errors.
This morning, I wanted to go jogging or walking but felt my balance was off and thought not to chance it. That had me thinking the pdoc & I were wrong about my falling being caused by the propranolol, which was a bit of a downer. But it was a good thing I stayed in because I was so off-balance, at one point, I walked into my off and fell over sideways, landing on the floor.
Hubby said I was slurring me speech again, and I was thinking, OMG, how did I make another mix-up with my psych meds? I've been super careful with it. I took out the trash as my husband was walking out to his car to go to the hardware store, and he told me to stay home, that I didn't look stead on my feet (I felt steady but guess I wasn't). I slept away a lot of the morning, some of the afternoon. My daughter was a good sport about it because my husband was gone on errands over the afternoon.
