It sucks. It made my heart beat really fast and it didn't help me at all.
I take 5mg during the week and 10mg during the weekend because of my sleep disorder.
I had horrendous back spasms due to poor posture, was in major pain and wasn't getting better. Baclofen did nothing and made me feel like a drunk. Heat and ice did nothing. Back braces did nothing. I was desperate. I was praying like crazy even thought I am a skeptic. Then as I was sitting in the back yard clues started coming in. I had been eating a high sodium diet with little potassium for a long time. No way was I getting 3500 mg of potassium daily. So I started taking No Salt, 1 tsp a day. the dose dispersed throughut the day, in water. Within hours my mucles completely relaxed. My pain went from a 8-9 to a 1-2. The 1-2 is due to poor posture and I will work on that. I also felt feelings of well-being. I'm taking more than 1 tsp now, maybe 2 tsp, because high sodium diets will lower potassium levels. If a food has 800 mg of sodium more than potassium, I will take 1200 mg of potassium. The ideal intake ratio used to be 1 mg sodium to 2 mg potasium, but they are raising it to 1 mg sodium to 3 mg potasium. YMMV.
I feel that 5 mg as needed for stiff muscles works okay; I took one so far & it did not make me drowsy though…
Unfortunately, flexeril doesn't put a dent in my pain. Low grade opiates at least gets me out of bed. Glad it helps some of you.
Im 6ft 5 , 200lbs, and am always travelling and sleeping on different mattresses. This stuff is a MIRACLE when taken AS NEEDED!!! If I wake up with pain in my back, Take 1 tablet and my back feels like im 16 again after 30 minutes or so ready to go play sports or swim.
Note: Dont take it, then take a HOT shower, I found i would only get nauseated when i raised my body temp, and as always for most medications, stay away from grapefruit if you just took it. Also alcohol
Try not to take everyday, says on the bottle dont use for more than 3 consecutive weeks…..I grabbed mine over the counter in Mexico. 100 tablets in the bottle. Will last me well over a year.
anyone taking more than 3 a day should seriously look at the long term affects
Man 50mg of this shit will get me fucked up feeling
Made my tummy upset with sone foods abs I felt depressed. My back pain wasn’t improved.
Bro this shit had me so drowsy the next day at work. It’s almost 24 hours later and I’m just now starting to get over the hungover/drowsy feeling. I also felt off and down. 🥴 fakin ell mane.
I took one of these yesterday and let me tell you I am so hungover.
Flexeril is great for migraines.
I used flexeral right after hip replacement, with Tylenol #2. The combination was perfect. M
This makes me feel depressed and drowsy the next day and made back pain worse, by making me sleep in all sorts of relaxed pretzel positions, which then hurt my lower back even more when I finally got up. I hadn’t had this worse back pain for a year 🙁
Thank you I watch about four or five videos before I decide okay I want to be put on this medication or not and this one seems okay that my body can tolerate it but I don't think for a long period of time. It is messing with the medication I use for trimmers
Dont abose this suff iv ben dealing with hella heart problems cuz of it
Edit- serisly this stuff gets rilly dangerus onec you go over 20mgs
These just make me over aware of my sinuses and i feel weird.
Can I drink alcohol while taking this medication?
Will this show up on a urine test and cause you to fail?
Just took 35mg think it's a bit much idk.. hmm..
I am still drowzy like 18 hours after I take one cyclobenzaprine pill. It just knocks me out and makes me weak and dizzy and have blurry vision the entire next day, when I take it right before bed, say 10p.m. or 11p.m. the night before. That can't be normal.
I'd rather use robaxin or bachlofen.
Wish you explained that it is not a pain pill. This medication relaxes the muscles which stops the pain from the spasms.
Booo
