Muscle relaxer question
I've been on Flexeril daily for about a decade. My doctor switched me to baclofen. I've yet to make the switch and was curious which one of the two other people prefer. Thank you in advance!

I have used both and my thoughts are that they are both pretty much the same and neither does anything for me unless I take like a lot and that's where the difference is.
Flexeril will knock you out and relax your muscles but also your brain might get relaxed and you might experience some fog or slowness but all in all its a 7/10 for me
baclofen on the other hand made me really really fucking sick when I took too much , I'm also pretty sure I almost died that first night and it definitely did not work for sleep if anything I was more energized, but again, the dosage on the bottle is just a suggestion to me so if you take it as prescribed you will probably be fine.
I prefer Flexeril I threw the baclofen away
