You must have a doctor if one gave you a prescription for muscle relaxants. Did your blood test show that you were low in Potassium? Do not self medicate on Potassium, too much can hurt you. I see Dr. Hamilton Fish, an endocrinologist. You could call and ask the nurse if these symptoms are something he handles. If not see your doctor again. Have your blood tested again. If you are taking something with a diuretic it sometimes flushes out too much Potassium and the medication may need to be adjusted, but please don't do it yourself.
