Could anyone tell me what the difference is between the muscle relaxers Flexeril, Methocarbomal, and Skelaxin. Is any one of these stronger/more effective or longer lasting than the other? Also, does anyone know the difference between these three and Zanaflx/Tizanidine. Zanaflex definitely seems stronger than the other three - it makes me very sleepy, but the other three do not. I have been prescribed each of the first three for day time use; currently the Skelaxin and I take Zanaflex at night.
Thanks for any help!
Is there an unsafe time period as to how long you can be on Skelaxin and Zanaflex?
