Does anyone take muscle relaxers to release large painful muscle spasms?

Skelaxin is what I take 800mg 3 x day
I still have horrible leg cramps evert day...then the night have horrible ankle pain (cramps). Skelaxin doesn't help much.

The question was asked yesterday about Trive. Accordingly to the Web site I saw. It's a group selling what they call high quality food that is freezer dried. And a none of it is proven to do anything

I've been on Zanaflex for a few years. Used to wake up with big bruises from the muscle spasms I had a night. They were really painful. Haven't had any bruising since starting Zanaflex but do get a really dry mouth from it and I take it at bedtime because it makes me really sleepy.

I take Soma. Have been on it for a couple of months. I was taking flexeril, but had been on it for a long time, so my dr said I should switch...does help.

I take 2 robaxin (aka methocarbonal) per day to handle muscles, gabapentin to handle nerves and Etodolac for inflammation. My doc has me tackling from 3 different angles.

Yes I was out of flexeril for about a week and just got a new one yesterday called Zanaflex 4mg. I took one and fell asleep at 10:30 last night and actually slept all night for the first time in forever!!
