Re: Muscle Relaxants / and or narcotics?

alot of people get bad reactions to flexeril. its a strong
anticholinergic which causes the dry mouth and severe drowsiness that
some people get. it also potentiates norepinephrine which could explain
the jitteryness and excelerated heart rate. flexeril is basically a
tricyclic similar to amitriptyline or nortriptyline. i suspect that it
might have failed as a antidepressant so they decided to sell it off as
a muscle relaxant. but thats just my theory.

Sometimes I wonder how they can keep certain meds available to the
general public without bothering to address these problems. I cannot believe
you and I are the only two who have had really shitty psyche\physical
problems with this drug. I guess there are too many people making too much
money on Flexeril for it to be questioned.
But will they ever let a long acting pain med like MS Contin slip through
the cracks to those who really need it. ***, NO! That would be dangerous,
like allowing stem cell research that could offer real healing possibilities
in the near future. Can't let that happen. Christ, it seems like the Taliban
is already in charge of our government!
