Muscle relaxer.. works well with a percocet.

It works well I am on it. The only complaint I have is being drowzy.

helps with my muscle spasmums but makes me sleepy
Working / Worked
I take this before bed. It helps a bit.
Working / Worked
Started off taking them to go to sleep, as nothing else worked. But my tolerance to drugs builds up very fast and is huge. So after a while they wouldn't make me relax or sleepy at all. It doesn't seem to do anything for my muscle pain. I still take it every once in a while if I'm hurting really bad or can't sleep at all, and sometimes it helps just as long as I only take them occasionally.

makes me tired

Helps persistent spasms as well as has some effect on myoclonus. Very minimal side effects if any.

Awesome! This works better than any other muscle relaxant out there. It is good for people who experience terrible leg paincramps.

Zanaflex did work, but I can't remember what the side effects were (if any) or why I no longer take it(?)
