Actually they do and some affect it quite severely. Even though they are called "muscle" relaxants, they actually work through the neurological system which obviously includes the brain. Strong ones can make a person dizzy, have halucinations and even cause unconsciousness.

True story: I once injured my back and had to be put on muscle relaxants for two weeks. When I took the first dose, I thought I had slept all day. (I only took half the dose after that because it was clearly too strong). Anyway, my friends later told me that they had called my house to check on me and I was telling them that cats were walking on the ceiling etc. I don't even have a cat much less a gravity defying ceiling cat! lol The muscle relaxant had made me halucinate!

But no... I think Freddie was just drunk.

Not to turn this into a science forum, but the doctor must have been slipping you something else. Muscle relaxants do affect the brain of course but all I was trying to say was they don't affect it in the way the OP was making out, they generally only cause mild drowsiness. i'd go to the Dr if I was you, they won't be causing hallucinations unless they weren't MR's you were on.
