Wondering if it has helped?

So I have tried flexeril (didn't do anything for me), baclofen (didn't do anything for me), tizanidine (helped relax muscles a little, but made me way too tired and woke up feeling drunk), Skelaxin (didn't do anything) and now I am on Robaxin and this is literally the only muscle relaxer that has helped me. It relaxes the spasms to a tolerable amount and doesn't make me tired, so I can take it at work. Luckily, my insurance covers it. The thing is, we are all different chemically, so you really have to try it and if it helps great, but if not, keep trying different ones. Hopefully, you will find the one that works best for you.

Flexeril works for me @ nite time. Sleep better and less interrupted 😴.

I took Flexeril but it made my restless leg much worse. So I am taking Voltaren which is an anti inflammatory and just started the Skelaxin so I can take it during the day we will see how it works.
