Calling muscle relaxers a scam seem harsh. I feel I benefit greatly from having some relaxers around. People are different. Pain & treatment vary from person to person. For users that are genuinely interested in muscle relaxers this is my 2 cents.
I might take a s0ma &/or a c0deine to manage lower back pain during the day. S0ma used to make me tired but not much anymore.
I also switch between Fl3xeril & Zan@flex only before bed as they make me tired. Fl3xeril I sometimes split in half especially if I am taking it after midnight. My doctor is not at all prescription happy but doesn't seem to mind giving me 30 flex a month. I believe fl3xeril is marketed for people that have trouble sleeping due to their pain.
A pharmacy on IOP carries Zan@flex for a perfect price. PM me if you want to know the name. I would rather not mention it in a non-private thread. (I dont want their one good medicine blasted all over google)
