Flexiril makes me a zombie! Take 300-600mg of magnesium before bed.

Flexeril makes me feel like all the blood has been drained out of my body. I took it one time... never again.

Yeah, other than Rx muscle relaxers, I'd say heating pad. Hot-tub. Massage.

I like Joint Flex and Zostrix HP but they are more for sore muscles and arthritis. A masseuse gave me a deep tissue massage (painful) and she rubbed I think Bio-Freeze on me after and it felt good. A no cost thing to try is a hot shower.

I really like Ultram (Tramadol). It's a prescription med but not an opiate narcotic, so doctors are pretty cool about prescribing it.

A hotub and a Bushmills single malt (neat) work pretty well too.

Yeah it works for pain, but can be just as dangerous as opiates.

oh yeah, Xanax can sneak up and be a serious problem before you know it. Even coming off it cold turkey can kill you. Effective med, but a short term fix only.

If you have an iphone or android there are some very cool self-hypnosis apps for relaxation. I use one nearly every day (I like the ones by Andrew Johnson).
