I've taken Zanaflex for a couple of years at night with Elavil. It was given to me to help me sleep. One of the less common side effects of Zanaflex is hallucinations. My doc had increased me up to 8mg per night and on that dosage I was experiencing hallucinations. Not daily, they were every few weeks, but as time went on they got pretty intense. They were not just visual either, I could smell, feel and hear, they were incredibly *real*.
Scared me so I stopped taking it for a while, also stopped sleeping. I went back on 4mg a night and have had no problems with that.

I didn't know about the hallucination. Thankfully I've never had them. Or perhaps the hallucinations were so convincing I didn't notice?
I was prescribed this drug (Sirdalud) when I pulled a neck muscle while commissioning a manufacturing plant in Egypt. I was pleasantly surprised that it works really great to put me to sleep. If I awaken, I can just take another 2-4 mg and it's back to sleep again. I wake up so refreshed in the morning.
I'm embarassed to say what I paid for this drug in Egypt. I remember bringing a couple of hundred tablets home with me. They must have cost me all of $80.
Unfortunately, I'm one of those MS patients that LOVED IT while it was working, but have become intolerant/immune to it and now my neuro has me on clonazepan that is NOT working and leaves me with a pill hangover the next morning. But, I highly suggest taking Zanaflex and perhaps alternating other meds so that you don't build up a tolerance to this wonderful non-addictive drug
