I have to agree with those who suggested massage therapy. I went through months and months of muscle relaxants and physical therapy for shoulder and neck pain that was unbearable sometimes. I got desperate one day and called a massage therapist and she (believe it or not) got rid of the pain entirely with two sessions.
On another note, my neck pain started coming back recently so I used some old muscle relaxants for a few weeks to try and prevent it from getting really bad. I was taking Soma. While on it I experienced some really bad episodes of my depression returning (I'm currently taking wellbutrin and dexedrine for depression and ADD). After doing some reading I found out that something like 10% of the people who take soma will experience depression as a side effect. Just thought it was worth mentioning because it definitely affected me.
