I have heard Zanaflex is supposed to help with this.... have you tried it?

Flexeril is crap... at least through my experience.....

increase in muscle spasms.... please read

I have noticed lately that muscle spasms are much more frequent. They don't

really hurt they are just bothersome. I can just be sitting down or laying on

the couch and all of the sudden some part of an arm or leg will just start that

twitching under the skin. I can look at that spot and literally see the muscles

moving. I take the flexeril but maybe not often enough. How many of you

experience these kind of spasms?

I have the deep down muscle spasams-cramps.

I have to take perscription Quinine.

If you can stomach tonic water (flavored anyway) it has quinine in

it. drink 3 to 4 glasses a day and see if it helps you. My doctor

had me do this but I couldn't get past the taste, even flovored.

I have not tried the Zanaflex. I really don't take the flexeril often enough

either. Like I said, it just seems they are more frequent than they use to be.

They really don't hurt (though it seems they would). However, I guess if they

get bad enough they will hurt. It is just wierd to lay there and watch muscles

twitch under your skin like some alien life form has moved in. LOL.

Thanks to all for responding

Hi, Debra! I've never had them hurt, just jump around a lot.

Anywhere there's a muscle, it'll do it to me. Been doing it for the

last six or seven years. I've even had my eyelids do it. I've

pretty much run the gambit on muscle relaxants. They worked fine on

the muscle cramps, but had no effect on the flutters. It is caused,

I'm told, by rapid fire signals from the brain to the muscles. So

it's not a form of cramping, it's more like turning a light switch

off and on rapidly. My granddaughter saw it, and I told her it was

from eating too many Mexican Jumping Beans. >:-P

Quinine almost killed me, literally. I had no idea I was allergic

to it, and took a small amount. When I came to a couple days later

I was told it had stopped my heart and goobered up a couple other

body systems. I still have a form of tinnitus from it that the DR's

say is probably permanent.

Like you say, they don't hurt, they just look funny!

Hugs,

LCB

My rheum stopped my Soma and put me on Neurontin 300mg for muscle

spasms and sleep. During the day I take Neurontin 100mg for them. He

let me keep both doses for that.
