Do You Take A Muscle Relaxer For Fibromyalgia & What Is It & What Dose Are You Taking?

I've been on cyclobenzaprine 10mg at night for 3+ years now and it doesn't seem to help me anymore.

Tizanadine 2mg at bedtime as needed. Dr. Prescribed 4mg but I find half is enough. Brand name is Zanaflex.

I take @Zanaflex 4mg twice a day. It's seems to work better than @Flexeril for me. It helps me sleep but if you need one early in the morning like I do, it can make you feel like crap.

I have a prescription for Flexerill, but I rarely take it. I have So Much Trouble getting up in the morning, even taking it at 8pm and 1/2 dose of 2.5 mg.

@A MyFibroTeam Member no I don't take muscle relaxers. I'm on so many prescriptions now that I don't want to add anymore to my list. It will be interesting to see those who do?
