Hi M
>Soma's another one that i haven't tried - i've just done some research and read that muscle relaxants such as bacoflen and zanaflex may be effective at releasing physical tension (and therefore anxiety?) without being habituating?
Carisoprodol (Soma) is a sedative and muscle relaxant. It is related to the old sedative drug meprobamate. Unfortunately, carisoprodol is associated with the development of physical dependence - as are the barbiturates and benzodiazepines.
Have you tried clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)? Clonazepam is a high-potency benzodiazepine.
