What Is The Alternative To Soma Taken For The Relaxation Of Jaws During Sleep?

I have been taking 250 mg of soma at bedtime for TMJ/TMD to relax my jaws during sleep. Is there a better or less addictive drug that might work as well as the Soma. Also, how do I dose down to stop taking soma safely as I have been taking it for years.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
I would suggest you to get a checkup done by an Orthodontist impressions can be taken an OPG radiograph, based upon which facial excercises or any orthodontic appliance can be given.

Take care!
