This does take away the muscle spasms. The brand name doesn't have the sedating problem that the generic does.

This is the newest medication. The Neuro prescribed it for my headaches. But sometimes I have had some sort of "blacking out" or "fainting" when I get up from the couch. Once I was going into the kitchen, and found myself....much later...on the floor by the refrigerator. This was scarey to me. I was all skinned up, and had no idea what had happened to me or why. I think that it is the 4 O'clock dose, because I often snoozed, woke up after 6 O'clock.
