Flexiril, it's all over between us

[marydell]

Flexiril is pretty good for my cramps, when taken in concert with a heap of advil.   But I have chronic esophagitis and reflux and whatnot.  I took a Flexiril this afternoon and about an hour later I lay down and napped for a while.  And woke up with a throatful of extremely burny stomach acid.

Flexiril is a muscle relaxant.  The esophageal sphincter is a muscle.  Fuuuuuuckk.

I'm feeling better now--have been for a few hours.  But I'm scared to lie down to sleep.
