Muscle relaxers?

[[dj...]]

In Month 8 of now and the issue that is killing me right now is severe, severe muscle tension (followed by fatigue).  It is everywhere in my body 24/7 and feels like my muscles are getting pulled, stretched, pushed, etc.  Want to jump out of my skin some days.

 

Has anyone found anything effective for this?  I know some people have taken Baclofen and Cyclobenzaprine.  I guess the main problem with this is they cause dependency and you aren’t supposed to take them more than 2-3 weeks.  But, I didn’t know if those are something you can take as one offs if things get too painful and uncomfortable. 

 

Any other things that have helped?

This is the only one that helped me with those pains:

 

Methocarbamol is a type of muscle relaxant that works by calming overactive nerves in your body. It treats muscle pain and stiffness. The brand name of this medication is Robaxin®

 

Baclofen and flexeril had a paradoxical effect until my CNS calmed down a bit. I can take them now if necessary, usually flexeril, but very sparingly.
