severe constant muscle tightness occurred. i do not know whether it is a coincidence or not. the pain doc prescribed tizanidine it works.
but when it wears off symptoms are there again.
also with muscle tightness all over is up b/p. both symptoms new since rifampin. anyone else had this experience?

then you could delete tis post since the boards are very acive daily.

Sorry, I haven't taken rifampin. I agree with Betty, post this in medical.
I have the overall muscle tightness. Some people feel better on magnesium but I don't know how well that goes with rifampin.

I find I have to take tizanidine every 5 hours to keep it from wearing off. If you take it with food, it seems to reduce the fatigue.
