I personally don't think they're addictive I'm on two muscle relaxers and I like that because I don't make me drowsy and I also take Motrin 800 and I take Neurontin and which is the nerve medication like I said I don't think they're addictive but I would rather obviously take those then take a narcotic

Doesn't it feel great to be at work with a clear head?? Congratulations. My doctor yesterday wanted to give me some muscle relaxers, and I didn't take them...are they addictive???? That is why I didn't take them, and I don't really take the doctors word for what's addictive and what's not because they have put me on things before that I found out were addictive (I didn't become addicted to them, but reasearch)...but there are mixed reviews on the world wide web about whether they are addictive or not. Just curious, because I need something to manage my pain at night. Ibuprofen 800 works great while I'm at work, but my pain wakes me up all through the night, and I can't stand it.
