Theta Z,
I remember I tried Flexeril too. Made me little tired but didn't have any side effects. But didn't work for the dizziness and noise sensitivity though. Yes Flexeril is a very old medicine and many get prescribed.
I even have some trial dosage of Skelaxin which seems to have less side effects but I never tried. I got sick and tired of all these trials
I know what you say about Xanax, Klonopin. Getting Rx for Xanax is not easy anymore because of its reputation. Most of them prescribed only for 1 month with no refill. Luckily my Neurologist last prescribed for 3 months. In spite of all this it is #1 prescribed drug in U.S. now
I don't take any sleep aids and I take during the day and when I have to go do something or my symptoms gets intolerable I take a bit more.
So andromeda these are few choices you can think about.
Cheers!
