Mrs. D,
I am amazed at that list and that I was prescribed so many of those drugs with my autonomic neuropathy. Maybe stunned is a better word.

1. Zanaflex was prescribed for my muscle spasms and literally put me on the floor and did not even lessen the spasms a tiny bit. My blood pressure went so low on it that I couldn't even sit up.

2. Baclofen was prescribed for the muscle spasms and it did nothing at all to help and only made me tired and more agitated.

3. Flexeril- same reaction as zanaflex and muscles as stiff as rocks

4. Nortriptylene was prescribed but I never tried it. That's on the list. I can't believe that the doctors would prescribe it if they have my test results and know what kind of neuropathy I have. This was on the list of possibilities for my treatment and I hadn't ruled it out yet.

5. Interestingly enough, diazepam is not on the this list, and although I hate taking it- I have to say that when I need it, it is a Godsend and keeps me out of the emergency room. I have no bad effects from it with my nervous system. In fact, it even helps with some of my autonomic systems when things are misfiring and causing muscle spasms or vasovagal problems.
