Tizanidine and Spastic Diplegia

Hi, I have moderate spastic diplegia and have been advised by a neurologist to start taking Tizanidine starting at 2mg and every 4 days increasing to 2mg until I get to a dosage of 12mg.
Is anyone else on this medication? If so what dose do you take? Are there any side effects?
Also could this medication help with my nocturnal bruxism? (Night time teeth clenching)
If anyone could advise or help I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Hi @Tash026
I found this information about Tizanidine, I don't know if it is of any use to you?
