What's the best Muscle Relaxant available with a prescription. (All opinions wanted)?

Soma is the only one i have found that works the best.All the others is like taking nothing at all to me!! Well,sometime the flexeril makes my legs hurt and are restless to were i can't sleep.I also have muscle jumps in my sleep.Do not like flexeril,maybe others can get a better use than me.

Different drugs help different people. My husband takes flexeril & it works great. Flexeril did not work for me. Parafonte forte works best for me. If the doc prescribes something that does not help, ask for something different. I went through 3 before I found one that helped

i used flexeril too and it works great !but i had to change to soma's cause they were cheaper .and they work great too!only problem i have is sometimes they make me drunk and it comes and goes while med is in my system! i guess if i would lay down and go to sleep i wouldn't get the drunk feeling ! but some times you can't just go to bed !
i took my the first time before i went to church ,i was fine at church but we had old timers lunch after church and at 2:00 pm i left to go home and i was afraid to drive because i felt drunk but i had no choice !thank God i made it home !

Flexeril too. Although I can only compare it to Soma. Soma made me groggy, Flexeril does not. Thanks

Flexeril can leave you feeling like a useless bag of cement if you wake up in the night or wake up too early after taking it too late in the evening. In the long run I prefer less invasive approaches but used on a very limited basis it has its merits. Definitely not a good plan to mix this with alcohol although used in concert with anti-inflammatories such as Lodine, Flexeril can give a resltess night's sleep.

Muscle relaxants really vary from person to person. Hope you will take the previous advice to try until you get the best one. I've tried most of these and am taking skelaxin.Soma and tizanidine made me stupid. I felt ill on flexeril although if I neede something regularly say for a back injury I would go back to flexeril. Good luck

Flexeril did not work for me and I have tried several different muscle relaxers, I like Tizanadine. at first it makes you drowsy and tired, but once you start taking it you can take it during the day to. I have 3 bulging discs in my neck and degenerative disc desease in my lower back

I also have used both flexeril & soma. I like soma because it doesn't dry my mouth out as bad!

i have used most all.soma works well but gives me dreams.robaxin works well.for chronic back pain i would use valium in combination with tylenol 4,lorcet,or morphine 15.tylenol 4 and lorcet are almost the same except lorcet is less sedating,but taking at bedtime lorcet can make falling asleep difficult

yes, i agree that soma is good, but if ur taking it on the regular , the tollerance u bulid up is soo soo fast, also my motto has always been "the smaller the pill the bigger the punch" and it has held true to almost every substance ive tried. GO WITH FLEXERIL 10MG TABS they work like really work, and they also help with sleep and and several Joint disorders, so even on like those rainy days where all ur bones hurt..take a flexeril and its all gone... most likely u got prescribed like oxycodone 5mgs or somethin + a MR , ive tried almost every MR on ur list, and again my vote goes to FLEXERIL. also keep in mind everybody is different, and some ppl may be more sensitive to drugs that slow things down and someone else may not be sensitive to that and feel nothing (as in euphoria)

I agree with your comment about taking too many. Way back I did that and I felt very drugged, shaking hands and slurring speech, almost as if I was drunk.

I generally take 2 at night and they put we right to sleep, but if I wake up I can still function. I have taken many of the others on the list, but Soma is the only one that works for me. The only way I can get it is through my pain management doc.
