> warm regards JakeIts only similar in category.. Flexeril is a yucky side-effect filled medicine related to tricyclic antidepressants, at least in my trials. But as they say your miles may vary. Soma itself can be very powerful especially at high doses considering its metabolite. If only I could have it instead of its actual related cousin Robaxin... but I digress again. There are about 4 or 5 muscle relaxing drugs, almost none of them are particularly related except the two I mentioned above, as far as I know.
