Dear Debbie -

Under the heading of "Look at All of This Stuff and None if it is Technically an Analgesic (Pain Killer)" I offer a partial list of the stuff I'm on every day, doses included. For the muscle pain, I would specifically suggest two anti-spasmodics for CNS generated spasms (Zanaflex and Baclofen), a benzodiazepine which works great on shooting pains (Xanax) and that all time great and at the same time derided anticonvulsant, Neurontin.

Anyhow, here's my mini-list:

1. Zanaflex (4 mg. 6/day)
2. Neurontin (600 mg. 3/day)
3. Xanax (0.5 mg. 4/day)
4. Baclofen (10 mg.) [1 - 2 tablets/day as need for severe muscle spasms]
5. Marinol (5 mg.) [4/day]

I hope this may be of some help. Good luck.

Mike
