That's why I make a point to ask about the simplest, most obvious, first thing to try, before we get out the PDR. (Physicians Desk Reference)

Hey, now I get it ... you're an Occam's razor fan, just like me!

Not for this one. I've been a guinea pig for 8 different drugs to stop muscle spasms in 50 years. Half don't work at all, half cause a long, nasty hangover, and one is on the DEA list of most abusable drugs. Two years ago a student doc gave me a pill that was invented in 1962 and it worked as well as anything else but left zero hangover. So, forget the latest and greatest, high-tech, high-priced pills. I get better mileage from the low octane stuff.

In another case, a doctor gave me Afrin for stuffy nose and it caused rebound congestion worse than the original problem. I eventually found that baby strength Neo-synefrin works for me, and no side effects.

That's all the lessons I need to ask for the old, low tech stuff!
