I agree Valium one of the best, although it seems like Dr's don't like prescribing it much anymore.
Tizanadine is okay too, I think it's better than the others you listed, I've tried them all too.
but it breaks down into a drug called meprobromate which is habit forming..indirectly, soma is habit forming and not the best choice in muscle relaxers for any addict to take. It is a drug that can work well if not abused..but some people tend to like abusing soma/ and if used daily in big amounts it must be tapered like benzos and trams....someone who takes 2 soma a day as RX-ed is not in addiction territory and most would not have an issue...but an addict may so it is not worth it...
Flexeril is a muscle relaxant, not considered a narcotic, but I've heard it can be habit forming so I think you'd be better off without it, or only for a short period of time. I agree with dede21, you don't want to trade addictions.
Check out the thomas recipe as there are some really great tips in there.
Ellie is right that about different drugs not working.
I've never tried Skelaxin but I am under the impression it's similar to flexeril and soma. Flexeril offers me a small amount of relief, and soma offers me about 10x that amt however I developed an addiction to the soma and had to get off of it.
my pain mgmt doctor has suggested Voltaren Gel (also called "diclofenac", it's an NSAID) and it goes on the skin.
I have to take ambien or unisom to sleep most nights.
Oh, and milk would not be "habit forming.
benzos like xanax, valium and klonopin are not designed to be sleeping meds and anything u use for sleep can be psychologically habit forming but benzos are physically habit forming as well....dalmane and restoril are 2 benzos made for sleep...habit forming tho....maybe break ur pills into quarters or thirds...and go down a small piece each week...OTC meds like valerian root or melatonin may help..tylenol pm...
I'm looking for a relatively mild, non-habit-forming, liver-friendly sleep aid, either prescription or over-the-counter. Is there anything out there that you all have had success with? Thanks much in advance.
I bet you feel like a million bucks!! I remember the first night i got some sleep. It was all uphill after that! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you!!
I am not sure how many of you are familiar with, or are looking for a non habit forming sleep aid. My doctor put me on a drug called Trazadone when I was going through Sub W/D's. It is actually an anti depressant and one of the side effects is it knocks you out. So it is a tremendous sleep aid, especially when you are suffering from chronic RLS and other annoying side effects of withdrawals.
So I have this problem that if I have a skin abnormality, I have to pick it until it bleeds. I had a raised red spot on my inner thigh, and I thought it could've been a pimple forming. It was a wider area than a pimple would've taken up, though. I scratched, squeezed, and picked until I broke the skin. There was no tingling, and it's not that painful. However, there was clear fluid coming out of it. Could that have been herpes blisters forming?
Ambien can be habit forming if taken long enough it relaxes so you can sleep. Percocet is very habit forming, mixing these drugs with out your Dr. advice may be dangerous so you may need to see him or her. Tapering will be your best way to slow down the dosage, dont try to quit cold turkey it could do you more harm than go. Get help let us no how your doing.
Does anyone know very much about Flexeril? I just received an call from someone that thinks they may have overdosed on it. He usually does not take it and took up to ten 10mg tablets today and feels somewhat out of it. 100mg in one shot shouldn't do too much should it? He is in No. CA and I'm in So. CA so I can't get to him. Should I be concerned about him not waking up? Apparently he took six of them yesterday and I read the half life is 1-3 days.
