Hello Rayilyn, et al, I am allergic to almost every muscle relaxant on the planet, and I was prescribed blacofen this summer as an alternative to a muscle relaxant. Blacofen is an anti-spasmatic drug usually given to paraplegics, etc. I was given this due to muscle spasms in face and jaw and in left leg and dystonia on bottom of feet, particularly right foot, and in my hands, particularly my right hand. The drug effected my balance, but was basicly side-effect free. The purpose of this prescription was to get me past the side effects of the sinemet and to stabilize me until it could be determined if I have PD or if the PD-like symptoms I have are caused by something else. It seems to work quite well, and I have stopped grinding my teeth at a pace fast and furious enough to merit two emergency trips to my dentists in one weekend.
