I also use Flexeril as needed. It has really helped with my muscle spasms and tightness.

Just be cautious when you first take it because it can increase muscle weakness for some.

Magnesium is one of the best muscle relaxers I've found.


This is the brand recommended by Carol of PA in another current thread:


Magnesium 200 mg each tablet,
(as magnesium citrate, taurinate, malate, glycinate and succinate)

i didn't go into this before-but not only did the flex keep me sleepy for days...it gave me a sort of amnesia

i would take one say sunday night

mon i would get up and go about my business...and tues and wed...

sometime wed i would realize i couldn't remember what had happened for two days...it was pretty scarey considering i had driven 65 miles each way to work and taught all day
