for some time I had a prescription for flexeril and it literally did nothing
❝ D a t a ❞
I was allowed to take up to 4 a day so eventually I treid taking 4 at once (which I was later chastised for doing) but it still just... did nothing

flexeril knocks me out for like a full 18 hours and was not that effective. i switched to methocarbomol a few years ago and i find that it works better with almost no sedating effects

later on I had another Rx, I don't remember what for, but it basically made me feel a little floppy but still in pain and that's it

not perfect, but i havent tried going up a dose
❝ D a t a ❞
so I was like
❝ D a t a ❞

: does it actually do anything for your pain?
❝ D a t a ❞
or just make you feel softish
❝ D a t a ❞
I thiiiink it also made me sleepy but I'm not sure
❝ D a t a ❞
it was when I was ill so I was sleepy a lot as a matter of course

i would not say that it does anything for my pain specifically but it does help stop muscle spasms, which takes awy one source of pain
❝ D a t a ❞
mm okay yeah
❝ D a t a ❞
so it's not really a solution for that
❝ D a t a ❞
lmao I'm just so sick of being in pain all the time because nothing does anything
niangniang
yeah, weed is still the only thing that does anything for me 😔
❝ D a t a ❞
same lol

I use flexeril. It does knock me out like, at the beginning, but if you use it regularly i find that it stops. I also have a script for valium because that's a muscle relaxant and anti-anxiety

I've found they both work for muscle spasms but...it depends on the type of spasm. If it feels more crampy I use flexeril, if it feels more .....spasmy-clenchy, I use valium

❝ D a t a ❞
I don't really get many spasms there days, it's just the unrelenting ache

I take Tizanadine and while it does have a sleepy effect, it works for the arthritis in my hips

I'm on baclofen, but I only take it as needed (and when also remembered about), I'm supposed to take it multiple times a day every day but I don't want to dull the effects for when I Need it

it does seem to help fibro pain some, which is better than the usual nothing of other drugs
