Advice & Tips
I only take one at night and one in the morning...but the time I notice most spasticity is when I first get out of bed in the morning...so I feel that it really does not benefit me much. I suppose I could set the alarm for a few hours before I get up and take one in advance?!?!? Whatever.

Advice & Tips
I'm still not sure this is doing much for my spasticity/stiffness. I do know that if I take it too often it makes me really sleepy. I have not really experienced any other side effects that I can think of.
