My doctor is considering trying zanaflex for my nerve pain (which is thought to be "central pain"). Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with this medication. It seems to be a muscle relaxant, so can it help with nerve pain?

Hi. I've been on zanaflex for about a year. It is a very RARE occurence, but you can have hallucinations while on it.
It's only happened once or twice, but my heart will beat really fast and I will see things like large spiders (in shadow form only). I looked it up, and it is a rare side effect.
Like I said, I've been on it for a year, and it works great. . .except for those rare times I saw big spiders! LOL
