I have went thru CT a couple of times now because I'm hard headed and never seem to learn. But, on to my point -- this last time I went CT which I'm now on day 5 off of hydros AGAIN - and this time was so much easier than the other 3 or 4 times I CT'd. I wouldn't say it was awesome and symptom free but much more bearable this last time. WHY you ask?!?! I took flexeril on days 1, 2 and 3. I stopped taking it yesterday because I had to return to work today, but I definitely believe the flexeril helped because it was so much more bearable this time. I'm by no means 100% but yesterday (day 4) I was functional and today I'm a little more functional. I still have lingering WD symptoms such as queasiness, blurry vision a bit, and lethargy but the pain is gone, the fever is gone, and the bathroom runs are gone. Again, it may not work for everyone but it was a definite lifesaver. I have no worries about being addicted to flexeril becaue quite frankly I hate the drowsy feeling that comes with it and never took them before this CT. I gave it a try because I had no access to valium or any of the other benzos. It worked.
