Has anybody ever taken zanaflex? I just got a prescription last week and it seems to help with my back pain, but I am already taking opiates as well and I have heard that the zanaflex can be addictive. Is it? And if so, how addictive? I have a month supply and dont go back to see the pain doc for 2 months.

It's not addictive like an opiate is, people can become "addicted" to just about anything (psychologically), but physically muscle relaxants aren't exactly addictive. They help comfort pain, so one does get use to them, if you know what I mean.
Zanaflex is okay, it's a little weaker them Flexeril or Soma, but they work.

I take zanaflex and I also take opiates. Just as the previous person stated, zanaflex should be okay, and not additive like opiates can be.
