I lie awake at night a lot so I USED to take some kind of sleepy type stuff most of which contain Diphenhydramine. ( Benedryl ) This seems to be the cause of most of my nasty spasms. I used to twitch and jerk around like I was stuck on an electric fence with sharp jabbing muscle jerks about every 8 seconds. I stopped all medications a while back and noticed that these very annoying spasms went away. I tried my wife's Ambien ( zolpidem ) and found instant relief from lying awake AND spasms - what a great drug. I wish I'd have tried NO meds a long time ago. Allerdryl®; Allernix; Benadryl®; Nytol® Extra Strength; Nytol®; PMS-Diphenhydramine; Simply Sleep® ============================ On a side note, I also get stuffy nose quite often and USED to use dollar-a-gallon nose spray that worked very well but never was a final fix. Guess why...! Take a look at the side effects..... Oxymetazoline HCL Side Effects Side Effects Because it is applied topically rather than ingested or injected, most of oxymetazoline's effects are local and mild. You may experience sneezing, stinging or burning sensation, nasal dryness or irritation. With long-term use, you may experience continued runny nose, worsened congestion, _nasal irritation_ (http://www.ehow.com/about_5475867_oxymetazoline-hcl-side-effects.html#) and, in some cases, nosebleed. Once again, the cure is worse than the affliction.! Beware of 'friendly' looking drugs. AZDAVE “Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines.
