It wouldn't let me vote for pain reliever AND anti-d daily. I only take a muscle relaxant when absolutely necessary (not even once a week). Most of the pain I experience now is from arthritis or DJD throughout my whole body.

But believe it or not, the pain is easier to handle than the TMJ pain.

Hi ladies i take over the counter pain relief( like tylenol) and a tiny bit of an antidepressant called amitriptyline... and i dont like it either. i have tried flexeril, and other things in my travels. i try as best i can to stay away from pills, but sometimes we all need something to get us over the rough spells. anyone found something good with out side effects? or is that a pipe dream of mine? cindy

there i fixed it. thanks again for catching that . i was real tired when i came up with that one.lol
