I have severe pain in my neck and trapezius muscles. Could you please recommend an effective muscle relaxant?

For severe neck and trapezius muscle pain, it is important to consult your doctor before starting any medication. Skeletal muscle relaxants, such as cyclobenzaprine or tizanidine, are commonly prescribed to relieve muscle spasms and are typically used short-term due to potential side effects, such as drowsiness and dizziness. Your doctor may also recommend pain relievers (e.g., paracetamol) or NSAIDs (e.g., diclofenac or ibuprofen), along with physiotherapy and rest for longer-lasting relief.
