Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been prescribed muscle relaxants such as Cyclobenzaprine? It is suggested that this drug has an inhibitory effect on motor neurons and I am wondering if this has been effective for anyone. Thanks! Caitlin |

I never heard of this, but now I'm curious. Let me know what you find out or how it works for you! :) |

Hi Caitlin I was initially trialled on similar medications to treat SD (although I have never used Cyclobenzaprine) when I was first diagnosed. I found them to be of some help however in the long run they didn't work for me to an extent that allowed me to cope with SD, I have found botox injections to be the most successful form of treatment so far. However that being said the medication may have a different effect on you, give them a trial and see if the benefits out way the side effects. Good luck! Nes

Hello. I am now trying Tizanidine 4mg. I have been on it less than two weeks. So far, I can't tell any difference. My neurologist said to try it for two weeks, and if it doesn't help in that length of time to double it. I am finishing up with speech therapy. While I am with my therapist, I sound pretty good, but I find that it has very little carryover. My therapist said to keep practicing. I am considering looking into Botox. Good luck to you. |

There is an ongoing study at the National Institute of Health concerned dextromethoropan (DM). It is the DM that is noted on bottles of Robitussin. I believe there is some information about the study on the NSDA website but I am not sure. I am not aware of any use of muscle relaxants that really help with SD. I am sure that neurologists have tried a number of things over the years and if they had been successful then we most likely would know. I would be interested in learning from others what their experience might have been. You might also contact the NIH and ask about the results. John ABSD Minnesota |
