All muscle relaxers have the potential to make you fatigued or drowsy, some more than others. Methocarbamol (Robaxin) usually causes minimal drowsiness, and many people feel none at all. However, it usually needs to be combined with pain medication to work, and many pain medications are sedating by themselves. Skelaxin and Parafon are also less sedating than many others. Soma (carisoprodol), Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine), and Valium (diazepam) are all very sedating in most people. Be aware that the more sedating agents are often more effective, but if you need to be alert, you can try one of the others. Hope this helps Mark in Ilwaco A quick answer would be: Soma generally gives you more fatigue the next day than does Flexaril. But everyone reacts differently so you will have to go by trial and error.

What is physical fatigue?

Muscle fatigue is the repeated, intense use of muscles which leads to a decline in performance.Though the actual mechanism for muscle fatigue appears to involve the leakage of calcium.The maximum intensity of exercise is determined by physiological factors such as the maximum rate of O2 uptake, maximum heart rate and stroke volume, maximum muscle strength, etc. In the case of maximum work, a time factor is involved. Muscle fatigue is the transient decrease in performance capacity of muscles, usually evidenced by a failure to maintain or develop a certain expected force or power. Fatigue curves vary between individuals and within individuals depending upon the conditions that exist. Muscle fatigue can occur in two basic mechanisms: (a) central involves proximal motor neurons (mainly in the brain); and (b) peripheral involves within the motor units (i.e., motor neurons, peripheral nerves, motor endplates, muscle fibers). In peripheral muscle fatigue there are at least two different sites where repeated contractions maycauseimpairment:the"transmission mechanism"(neuromuscular junction, muscle membrane, and endoplasmic reticulum), and the "contractile mechanism" (muscle filaments). As the mechanical response of the individual active muscle fibers decline with fatigue, a certain compensation can be achieved by increasing the innervation frequency and/or the number of active motor units. The reasons for the appearance of peripheral muscle fatigue are local changes in the internal conditions of the muscle. These may be biochemical, depletion of substrates such as glycogen, high energy phosphate compounds in the muscle fibers, and acetylcholine in the terminal motor nerve branches, or they may be due to the accumulation of metabolites, such as lactate or electrolytes liberated from the muscles during activity
