A member asked:

I'm taking zanaflex (tizanidine). about a week and half ago my stool started changing to dark green and starting today stomach pains. no change in diet at all.

See details: The GI issues are likely unrelated to the Zanaflex (tizanidine) but stop it as a precaution. Call your doctor and have the stomach pains evaluated.
