I see that my response is years after the original post but perhaps it will help others that find this topic. The muscle relaxer that was prescribed at a dosage of 800mg and started with an s that one individual mentioned is Skelaxin. My reason for responding however is the implication that the medication Baclofen 10mg is inferior due to the dosage. I am not questioning the posters lack of satisfactory results or to promote one medication over another. I only mean to share some knowledge. You cannot compare the efficacy of two different medications based on dosage. 0.25mg of one medication could in fact be far more effective and/or stronger than 1000mg of a different medication in the same class.

i get bad tightness in ny muscles within my neck, middle and lower back. weird, when i took 2 somas that helped, but the flexeril didn't help at all. i tiold the doctor this and had asked for something stronger. he gave me a prescription i can't recall the name, but it strated with an s. i also know it was 800 mg.s and costs 300 dollars which my mediacaid and medicare would not pay. but they would pay for the generic which i got today, baclofen, but it's only 10 mg.s ! far from 800. i don't know if this is as good and as strong as what was reccomended, please tell me ........ please remind me of what that prescription is that starts with an s aswell, lol

no baclofen is not exactly the same as soma. they are both muscle relaxers but baclofen is a little stronger. i had been on soma and flexeril for over two years and now they have switched me to baclofen. it does work alot better for muscle spasms
