I had a car accident about a month ago (rear-ended while stopped at a
light), and have a whiplash injury.  I'm receiving physical therapy,
doing some physical therapy exercises at home, and also taking
Iboprofin and Flexeril (10 mg).

Some people have talked about how Flexeril knocks them out, but I
hardly feel a thing when I take the pill -- no drowsiness that I can
notice, and I'm not really sure I get much muscle relaxation either.

1.  Is it possible for your muscles to get relaxed, without really
feeling more relaxed?

2.  Has anyone found that they need more than 10 mg to get an effect?

3.  My doctor said there is no risk of addiction with Flexeril, but
elsewhere I hear that there could be some dependency over time.  Anyone
know anything about this?

4.  Is there something else I might try instead of Flexeril?

A few additional notes:  I saw an orthopedist for a second opinion last
week.  He thinks that a lot of my pain is more related to tendons or
ligaments than muscle pain.

Also, I do take a boatload of other medicines.  The ones that seem
relevant include:  Remeron (mirtazapine), desipramine (a low dosage),
zyprexa (low dosage), depakote, Toprol, melatonin (for sleep), and
Uroxotrol.  The doctor knows this, and apparently doesn't see any risk
of interactions, but if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know!

Thanks,
CJ
