User Reviews for cyclobenzaprine oral

I had been experiencing extreme fatigue, brain fog, muscle spasms, and joint pain for months after having Covid. My doctor prescribed Cyclobenzaprine to take once at night to help me sleep better and to see if that would alleviate some of my symptoms. After taking the medication for a month now, I can say that it has helped alleviate all of my symptoms. I have noticed constipation, but I have found that if I hydrate continually throughout the day and take fiber supplements that I am able to better counteract that side effect. I have also learned to pace myself more and take mental breaks throughout the day. The medication has helped me to relax the tension in my body at night in order to get a more restful sleep.Read More Read Less

Easy to take. I can swallow this without water. Not bad ! I wonder if hoarseness is a side effect too.

I've been on this for several months. My doctor assured me that it would "start working" after "a while" and said I needed to "give it a chance." But the only thing it ever does is make me drowsy. I guess maybe I don't have muscle spasms when it causes me to pass out in the middle of the day. But they're ongoing any time I'm awake.

I took 5 pills for 5 days for the neck spasm .while taking this pill also I felt so much dizziness .after 5 days I stopped using that pills ,but even after stopped I am feeling light headed and dizziness for more that 4 days

Makes me really drowsy. I just take once in a while when my herniated disc really persists. It makes me sleep 1.5 hours after taking it and I canâ??t resist the urge to sleep.

Always having sleep issues, now made worse by alzheimers Avoid Benzos, try off label anti-dpressants. Have tired Tranzedome and Remron in the past. Flexeril isn't as fast acting but gives a more natural sleep with les next day hangover.

I've taken cyclobenzaprine as well as other commonly used muscle relaxants in the past (methocarbomol, metaxalone) with minimal relief and minor noticeable effect, but today I took a leftover dose of flexeril from a script I used months earlier and it really knocked me out. Not sure if taking on an empty stomach had any effect, but it took about 1.5 hours to set in and it took everything I had not to lay down at work. Made it through the day, came home and immediately crashed on the couch for 5 hours. Woke up and still felt uncomfortably fatigued. In my experience cyclobenzaprine does very little to relieve muscle pains/spasms and is fatiguing more so than "relaxing." Take with food, start with a small dose until you're comfortable with the effects and allow yourself plenty of down time after taking this medication. Working, driving or any physical activity can be very taxing while the cyclobenzaprine is in your system.Read More Read Less

This pill did work for my TMJ. However, it makes you excessively sleepy, and I had terrible heart pain and palpitations for days after. I had to discontinue it, even though it helped ease the symptoms. I’ve never had any heart issues previously, but I cannot take this drug.

I have chronic back pain. Nothing shows up on MRI. With exercise it flares up. I take a 7.5m pill two or three times a week at bedtime. Definitely helps me sleep even with back issue. No bad side effects.

This makes so sleepy and unable to function; I take it at night along with Tylenol for pain which helps relax my muscles. I cannot take this three times a day as prescribed or I would never be functional.

Left me tired and groggy and was not able to function until the next day. It completely wore off after two days. Not recommended with Fibromyalgia.

Def need to be able to sleep for about 13 hours before needing to do anything. Makes me sooo tired I can’t fucntion or amstay awake. I think it may help some tho with muscle pain relief in conjunction with pain meds.

DRUG Given for the relief of sciatica pain muscle contraction, no noticeable results.

After weeks of sleeplessness caused by the wracking pain of muscle spasms, my doctor prescribes this. So far, so good!

I take this medication for lower and upper back and neck pain. I have to take it at night. Cause it me drowsy

The medication worked well for me. But the effects of dry mouth were horrible. I couldn't even talk for a minute without a very dry mouth. I slept most of the day and was just slow in many activities. It should be taken with complete rest.

Treated my back pain while pregnant. Super fast and almost complete relief.

My doctor prescribed this drug for my back pain, I took one tablet at night time and I was knocked out . woke up the next morning and i was drowsy all day long my brain was in a state of fog.I don't know how I made it through the day at work. Came home went to sleep and overslept the next morning for work.This drug is dangerous I would not take it again, all it did was made me sleep. Dont misunderstand I love to sleep but the way it had me nodding off all day long at work was scary .

Took for severe spasms in the lower back, could not walk straight. This medication might be best used at night but it does help with the spasm which was over in about 3 days. No side effects but slows you down, some people probably shouldn't until they see the effect.
