Hey, Schragie. Those meds can be a real adjustment. When I started neurontin, it took me quite a bit to adjust. I take baclofen - never tried flexoril. I have to take the baclofen when I'm done for the day, otherwise it finishes my day whether I'm ready or not! I ended up taking Cymbalta at night because I could not adjust to it during the day - just too fatigued. I just weaned off it because I was tired of the cognitive/personality effects of it. The pain really did increase after going off it and that has been not fun at all. It has been nice to feel more like myself again, though. I didn't laugh or cry the whole time I was on Cymbalta and I missed "me." It seems like everything has a price. I'm having surgery on the 11th of Jan, so I just wanted to try having my personality for a while. If I have to go back on it again for pain, I will. I'm on Topamax and that's really helped without the side effects I had with neurontin.

I wish you smooth adjustment these next few days. Do what you can to keep the rest of yourself healthy - diet, sleep, emotions, etc. I think all that can help the transition.
