I have to agree with you on how much flexeril helps. I do the same. When my back starts spasming, I pop a flexeril and a hydro. At first flexeril made me really tired, but not that I've been taking 2 or 3 each day, all I notice is relief as my back calms down. My doctor also gave me some valium to see if that helped and it did, but I think the flexeril is better for spasms.

What I find interesting is how hard to find this drug is on IOP's. When I do find it, it's really expensive. Is this drug not used much in other countries?
