232328 tn?1207090071 I take flexeril very occasionally....it does make me sleep...like 10-12 hours if i take it so i know i could never take it during the daytime...i have a low resistence to muscle relaxers i think after reading on here...zanaflax really knocks me out...when i do take a flexeril...i take 5 mg if i can 10 only if i feel i am really hurting...it gives me a hang over a little bit in the morning and that is why i rarely take it ..
Avatar f tn OK I may just take a half of one its just unbearable and I would like to get some sleep tonight
Avatar n tn Flexeril didnt do anything at all for me - you may want to try it though - it might help sleep if taken around bedtime........its not dangerous at least........
Avatar m tn Does anyone know very much about Flexeril? I just received an call from someone that thinks they may have overdosed on it. He usually does not take it and took up to ten 10mg tablets today and feels somewhat out of it. 100mg in one shot shouldn't do too much should it? He is in No. CA and I'm in So. CA so I can't get to him. Should I be concerned about him not waking up? Apparently he took six of them yesterday and I read the half life is 1-3 days.
Avatar f tn Hi again has anyone tried Flexeril (muscle relaxant)? Any bad side effects and did it help pain , I have I guess myofascial pain. Any trouble with withdrawal gettnig off of it?
733362 tn?1489794936 I have been taking 3/4 of a 10mg Flexerit once a day before bed Pain Management Dr put me on 4-1/2 yrs ago while detoxing from Valium (horrible). I'm sure God brought me here getting off Valium. People here helped me so much like Cricket, AtThebeach and many others. I couldn't have done it without them and our Heavenly Father. Was on Gabapentin (for me is a horrible drug). He offered that again, maybe won't be as bad now, not withdrawing from Valium.
Avatar m tn Its been 26 days since off the hydro; I have been able to sleep without any muscle relaxers for the last 3 nights. only feeling an occassional slight muscle twitch in my leg. I thought it would never end but it did! I've been able to sleep 9-10 hours a night for 3 days. I'm still very tired tho for some reason, I suppose after the hell of a year of treatment for hep-c, and 2 months detoxing off hydro, being tired is "normal".
237152 tn?1206651036 Well I've never taken soma but have taken flexeril a lot, to help me sleep and to help with back spasms, I have never gotten any type of 'buzz' from it. Upon comparing the two on drugs.com under warning on soma it says not to take it if you have a history of alcohol or other substance abuse or dependence but under flexeril there is nothing of the sort. Hope that helps, Much Luv!!!
Avatar m tn It's been 3 weeks since I stopped the hydro, but I still can't sleep because of these constant muscle contractions in my legs and back. Last week the dr. gave me Flexeril, the muscle relaxer to help sleep. It works well but leaves me so groggy the next day. the last few days I have only been taking 1/2 or even 1/3 pill, it takes longer to sleep, but still works. Last night I tried without one and the muscle spasms were worse.
Avatar n tn Has anyone ever takin flexeril during pregnancy? I'll be 24wks tomorrow. Obgyn put me on it due to pulling a muscle in my stomach. I'm high risk with twins.
Avatar m tn What I am wondering is, has anyone used Flexeril to help them sleep at night? My husband has some, and I am just remembering how hard it was to sleep. I will have to use something to help sleep at night because I work Mon-Fri 8:00-5:00.
Avatar m tn I made it to my day off today, and got about 10 hours of sleep with nothing but some melatonin and prescribed flexeril. Thank The Lord!
Avatar m tn Am i allergic to flexeril, benadryl, and most PM drugs? I have scoliosis, a bulged disc, and very mild arthritis in my back, but the pain can get to be unbearable. my muscles are so tight and knotted that it can leave me in tears (20 year old male). i have been taking flexeril for a year, and i have only used two bottles (60 10mg tablets) however, when i took one two nights ago, i began to shake and get very cold.
Avatar m tn 2 glasses of wine helped me sleep last night..LOL...I am not a drinker. I may be doing that again tonight...better than pills. I did take Flexeril way back but didn't abuse it. It knocked me out completely.
Avatar f tn m on an arthritis oral medicine, Voltaren, twice a day and I take flexeril (cyclobenzaprene) in the evening to help me sleep. I also take a multivitamin, fish oil and calcium+D. It's a lot of pills, but I actually notice a difference when I have to stop taking my fish oil and voltaren before spinal injections or my upcoming second round of radiofrequency ablations. What I'm saying is be patient, and don't give up on finding what works for you! Hope you find relief soon!
Avatar m tn nuerontin, I also take flexeril rarely but it can help you sleep..I followed the recipe without difficulty...amino acids are naturally occurring/some our body makes and some we get from foods we eat......our body does not absorb alot of the pill form of amino acids anyway but some and it is helpful for healing our worn out brains....caution as with everything we take..I found it is best not to take the tyrosine at night...
Avatar f tn Anyone know if it's safe to take emergenc and a multivitmin? I tried googling it but. Bunch of nonsense came up. I really don't want to bother my poor primary care. I've already called him about ten times during this process. And my second question, I know you can't give medical advise. Just want to know if anyone has taken the muscle relaxer flexeril during wds. I'm afraid to try it because I don't want it to give me adverse affects.
871357 tn?1244040713 I think anything pretty much can be addictive if perceived to be. How many did she take before she went to sleep? No, she should not have needed the excederinpm unless she was asking for the pain.? Just watch her, she won't try to od on the flexeril will she.? Do a search on the flexeril and see what you can find out about it. I took it for awhile, didn't seem to help a whole lot but I hear some say it works well for them. Yes, it should, could make her sleepy.
Avatar n tn Hi. My rheumatologist prescribed me flexeril to be taken 10 mg every night. It did help me sleep, but left me tied to another pill. When I stopped taking it I was so sick to my stomach for over 2 weeks. I also couldn't sleep at all! Similar to opiate withdrawal without the rls.
Avatar f tn t say it was awesome and symptom free but much more bearable this last time. WHY you ask?!?! I took flexeril on days 1, 2 and 3. I stopped taking it yesterday because I had to return to work today, but I definitely believe the flexeril helped because it was so much more bearable this time. I'm by no means 100% but yesterday (day 4) I was functional and today I'm a little more functional.
787406 tn?1339203183 She gave me Flexeril to help me sleep and to relax the muscles in my feet and low and behold the pain disappeared,now the only time i get the pain in my feet is when i have not gotten enough quality sleep. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/793017'>Foot Sole Pain NOT plantar fasciitis </a>.
1943759 tn?1324045251 I took Flexeril at night only (lowest dose) and the first three weeks I was extremely tired all day and even sleep walked during the day for a minute or so and hurt myself. I meant for him to use Flexeril only for a couple of days when he is layed up and not going anywhere. But flexeril does get better after a few weeks but then the pain relieving/muscle relaxing part of it goes away and it becomes a sleep aid.
Avatar f tn Hi for almost a year I’ve been having several symptoms that I now believe point to serotonin syndrome. Excessive sweating in normal temperatures, tremors, IBS, tachycardia & many more. All started after starting adderall, shortly after my dose was upped on that & depakote upped. Also take trazodone, gabapentin & flexeril & melatonin. Taking 2 of these or more can cause it.. Anyone w/ info or experience?
Avatar f tn t really care how hard it is to get off of them. The flexeril was easy to get off of except I lost sleep a couple of nights and was hyper a few times kind of up and down.Going off of Flexeril seems to have helped the problem. I do still get one or two skips in a minute but not like it was and no other symptoms. Now I am figting Toe pain because I got toe nail fungus on my big left toe and I bumped it and then my toe got infected with a bacteria too. So I need to walk for my back but it hurts.
Avatar f tn I am now day 5 clean. Feeling great. But one thing is the past few nights I have taken 800mg ibuprofen and 5mg flexeril to help with the restlessness. It works! Should I stick with ot or slowly taper it down to get use to a normal nights sleep? Ive tried the tea hot baths and melatonin etc. They put me to sleep then I'm wide awake at 3am. I also can't afford no sleep because I am a stay home mom of 3 year old twins. Any suggestions would help.
