I take 2 flexerils at night to help me sleep but I have noticed that I have started to swell up in my legs and tummy. I am wondering if anyone takes a muscle relaxer that may help them. I do have a history of swelling from being on numerous meds a few years back so I have to be careful of how much I take.
Q: I have Fibromyalgia and am looking for a muscle relaxer. I am having swellling with Flexeril

Hi Wendy,
You can check the medications that are normally prescribed for fibromyalgia pain in the drugs database located here. For instance here is the information for the drug Flexeril. There is also a section that includes information about the Baclofen that Cathy mentions below here.
I hope this helps! Take care and stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!

I have Interstitial Cystitis (Inflammation of the Bladder), and currently right now I am trying to pass a kidney stone. I have constant pain on bad days. My pain management doctor prescribed this great muscle relaxer it is called Baclofen - I am normally very sensitive to medicine and I have no side effects with this. I helps me sleep and makes me feel better in the morning. You should try it.
