Flexeril and Soma

soma is very strong. much better than flexeril. flexeril has a long lasting residual hangover in my opinion.

5 mg flexeril used to kick my ass and I'd be drugged for days.  Now 10 doesn't seem to bother me.   I metabolize stuff differently.  Like I was told di@z lasted about 4 hours but I was out of it all the next day.   I need it for sleep.  

I don't think anything beats Watson brand soma, honestly. The generics, at least for me are almost like a completely different Rx though, and I prefer Zanaflex to those. It can't make you really sleepy, and you shouldn't take it if you have liver problems or drink heavily. You can get really high off of these if your not careful (unless that's the reason someone wants to take them, then party on!) 8mg got me so blotto, I had to cancel and appt. I had that day.  I haven't tried Flexeril, it sounds like a lot of people really like it though, I will have to give it a try. Best of luck finding what works best for you friend! 

some are not strong to me i tried alot to help with a bad sleeping problem and soma were always weak to me but i have a tolerance to most things it seems, also flexoril made my legs pretty limber and its more a sit on the couch thing from what i remember, its been awile but i used to call it a floor drug as you end up on the floor pointing at your friends and them pointing at you laughing about failed attempts to try and walk.

Just FYI, recently took Flexeril and had 5 mg valley on board! I had a really serious psychotic reaction.....I was talking to people that weren’t there and let’s just say as a child of the 60’s I NEVER experienced this before.

Drug interactions at small amounts are not fun. So Flexeril is OFF my list.

Flexeril has always been good to me. 5mg is my go to. Don’t use it all the time though

My Dr. gives me flexeril 10mg to take with my ambien for my insomnia. It works pretty well for me, I don’t feel bad side effects. He did have me try the 15mg ER caps but I didn’t like it because I would wake up still feeling the effects of it. When I started on the flexeril I started with 5mg and kinda over did it and took about 8 in one night and completely blacked out, sleep walked, talked to people that weren’t there and had no idea the next morning of what I did… lol

Flexeril and Soma seem to always works the best for me? Does anyone want to recommend a another muscle relaxer that works well?

Hate to bump a two year old thread, but anyone know a reliable source for methocarbamol? US domestic if possible. Thanks
