    No drugs in my life, no DUI, no speeding. I take Flexiril for neck pain, it puts me to sleep at night. I will call my doctor on Monday, hopefully he emails them and I got my certification

    When I had the whiplash, I had 17 treatments from a Chiropractor. It didn't help. Then I did physical therapy, it didn't help. Pain injections didn't help. Now I have decided to wait it out. I go to the gym, also do neck movement excersizes and have tylenol.

    Amen. Too many people think you are supposed to go through life without any pain. No offense to OP, but when I hear "muscle relaxers", I think "addict". Between the pills, and the client at Uber complaining of drunk driving, I'm starting to connect the dots. Apologies if I'm in left field here. It's really none of my business anyway.

    I used to take Flexiril as prescribed as needed, took it for the better part of 25 years. I did not take it every day, but I did take it. About 5 years ago my VA provider took me off Flexiril and now I take Chlorzoxazone, and to be honest I take little of this today. Flexiril is not something that should be taken everyday, but when you need it, it is good to have available.

    Exactly. But you don't think of 500 horsepower hauling 80k down the interstate.

    If you need help "sleeping", then work harder during the day. Problem solved.

    Enough, both of you.

    Put each other on ignore if you have to.
