: I finally got my Dr. to let me try Flexeril as I have heard that it helps so many. I'm so dissappointed :( it makes me soooo tired and fatigued there is no way I can take it. (except aybe at bed time) I tried one pill/10mg yesterday at 5:00pm I started to feel some relief but by 8:00 I HAD TO go to bed. This am I split a pill inhalf and took that (5mg). The same thing happened. I HAD TO take a nap before heading to work at 1:00. I've never taken a med that made me so tired before.I'm so depressed because I actually had the first relief in two years and now I can't even take it!
: What meds are other here taking? Thanks for listening.

I can TOTALLY relate to what u said,,, I get the major relief from flexeril too and when i first started takin it, Well it knocked me on my A** to out it mildly- I was furious cause it helped sooo much but i literally could not function while taking it- I slept hours on end,, Well i found out something bout Flex, The Generic {which is what i first tried} Is the one that damn near made me comatose and i ended up taking a Brand Flex one day cause my friend had one and I could of DIED<, It had no effect on me like the generic did,,, Didn't make me dead tired and looney- So now i pay out the u know what for the brand cause they have a totally diff effect then the generic- I talked to alot of pharmacisits about this cause u know how they SAY the generic is the SAME as brand,, HA HA It's not always true w/ all drugs ,, anyways u should try that and see if u have the luck i do w/ the Brand,,, I sure hope so cause they work so well for this tmj ect,,,

Good Luck ,, please write m n let me know if u decide to try it or have any q's,,, Blondylox@Excite.com...
