Hi Cathie,

If there is one, I haven't found it yet. I've tried (at different times of course; combining is potentially fatal!) cyclobenzaprine, methocarbamol, diazapam, & Soma. They all seem to work pretty well, but it may be, as you say, the nature of the beast. Also, these kinds of drugs all seem to interact strongly with other meds, so that may be compounding the problem.

I use myofascial trigger point massage whenever possible (which often requires someone else to perform, depending on location), using a relaxer only as a last resort.

Communicate with your doc; be specific. There are lots of meds in the category, and we all respond differently.
