i take zanaflex and than i drank a pot of coffee and than took a zanaflex. i got really sick. so looked it up and zanaflex and caffeine have a major interaction.. i drank about 5 cups of coffee between 12:30 and 2:00 it's now 930 can i take the z?

Accepted Answer

: Caffeine which may increase the amount of tizanidine in the system. One cup of caffeine contains 95mg on average, so 5 cups is 475mg (a large amount). It takes approximately 12-15 hours for caffeine to clear the system. If you have not taken Zanaflex before, you may also be experiencing a side effect on its own. Try taking a lower dose (2mg) every 8-12 hrs as needed or wait until caffeine is gone

Question 5

would luvox (fluvoxamine) normally be considered the last choice for ocd-after others have failed--the caffeine interaction is a real turnoff?

Accepted Answer

Doctor choice: I don&#x27;t know what the statistics are on the use of Luvox in obsessive compulsive disorder. I can tell you that in my practice is not the medication that i pick first-line. Mean reason for that is that the more effective of the two is Luvox cr which is not yet generic. I tend to pick the generic medications first if they have a good proven efficacy. I suspect in the us that either Prozac or zoloft (sertraline) would be the more frequently used medicationsin obsessive-compulsive disorder. I&#x27;m curious to hear what my colleagues have to say about this.

Question 6

Accepted Answer
