Muscle Relaxants

If you have ever had a botox injection or have taken a muscle relaxant than you probably know how I am feeling right now. For those who have taken a botox injection- imagine it for your entire body. I went with my mother to a local hospital to check out my trigger point and they gave me some patches and a prescription to some type of pill that is supposed to relax your muscles- completely. Well, it works. It's starting to wear off which is why I am able to type now, but I'm laying down.
At first, I felt fine. Then, 20 minutes after taking the pill I felt so unbelievably dizzy. All of my muscles were beginning to relax. It was a bizarre feeling. My dad helped my stumble over to the couch to lay down, I was basically walking and acting like a drunkard at that point. Woooo, I felt like I was all over the place.
It was a strange feeling, but it was funny. Because I still had my mind intact but, my body wasn't. It was an adventure getting up my stairs.

I recently had surgery and had vicodin and an anti-inflamatory. The vicodin helped with the pain alot but I was hoping for a muscle relaxer.

Before the surgery they gave me... I cant remember but it was to relax my muscles. I was so relaxed and flying high that I left the hose for the gas in my gas tank and drove off. Now the gas station is charging me 100 bucks to replace it.
