Just stopped doxepin a few weeks ago since it did little to help w/ sx. I had a 5 mg. valium rx hanging around and because my sleeping is so problematic, I took one along w/ 1000 mg. tylenol and slept about 6 hours straight!! When I told the neuro, he wasn't surprised that the combo helped since Valium is not only a muscle relaxant, it also is used for seizures. Although my walking is still painful and my legs totally weak, I do not have the stiffness (mornings) & muscle cramps (bedtime).

This may be old news to some but it's been a revelation to me that such an old drug has provided relief that newer drugs have not.
