I need something I can take during the day without getting knocked out. Any suggestions? I have flexeril at home but can only take that when I can sleep through it.

Flexeril doesn't make me tired at all (unless I take it with a couple Vicodin, and I suspect that's more about the vicodin than the Flexeril) but meds affect different people differently. I think all muscle relaxers can have that side effect.
