We have all experienced skeletal pain caused by injuries, a bad medical condition or even just a bad sleeping position.  We will see a doctor if we think it is a serious condition.  But in some cases, we just reach out for a muscle relaxer to ease our pain.

Muscle relaxers act on the Central Nervous System (CNS) to relax muscles, ease pain and reduce stiffness.  Muscle relaxers are among the more common modern day medications prescribed to people with pain.  It can also be said that muscle relaxers are abused often in the sense that people tend to just pop them into their mouths when they feel some muscular stiffness or pain. While it is deemed effective, these drugs are also notorious for side effects.  Examples are drowsiness or dizziness, dry mouth, urinary retention or even possible addiction.
