Hi. Why don't you keep using the Flexeril? It works, it's mild and harmless as far as I know.

: Please, any reccomendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to do as much research as possible before I go back to the doctor AGAIN! So far I have taken Xanax (gave me a bad headache, but made me ambivalent about it); Temazepam (made my limbs tired but I still had to focus on falling asleep, which stressed me out even more); and Ambien 10mg, which I've been on for 3 weeks and isn't working anymore (unless I wash it down with 2 glasses of wine, but it could be the wine working, and I don't want to become an alcoholic.) It's hard to imagine that some people hallucinate and clean their houses on this stuff! I get a few yawns about 1 1/2 hours after ingestion (without the wine). The only thing that has really worked was the Flexeril that I took after a car accident. (Even Vicodin 7.5/750 didn't put me to sleep.) I'm desperate- I need to get my 9 hours of sleep back! Please help. Thank you.
