If tension is your only sensation at night, try using a magnesium lotion on your tense areas...you'll be surprised at how well it works!
Many of us at PN use this now: CVS Epsom lotion.
I buy at my local CVS. Another brand that is more expensive is called Epsom-it.
You can also soak in a tub with epsom salts.... about 6oz to a bathtub of warm (not hot) water. This can be very soothing too.

Thanks for the information on mixing the two drugs being known to cause respiratory depressant effects. That could be the problem... My concern is, after tomorrow I'm supposed to take the Gabapentin 3 times a day, and I'm prescribed Cyclobenzaprine 2 times a day...How can I work it out where I'm not taking them at the same time?
