Sorry for bringing this dead thread up but i just took skelaxin and it sux. It makes my brain feel retarded and my back makes me want to take a norco or vicodin. But id rather take a flexeril because that helps my back out so much. So basically i have the same question. Now the response to the OPs thread that i read was horrible. Im sry, i hate calling ppl stupid and never flame ppl on forums, but you must be retarded to recomend a perkoset or how ever you spell that. Those things are addictive, get you into more pills and can really fuck your life up. I have a friend who got hooked on it and now cant stay sobre to save his life. We literally had to kick him out of our house and he is no longer welcome here.
