User Reviews for cyclobenzaprine oral

makes me super super tired but doesnt help at all with my muscle spasms that i've been getting on my lower right leg. not even melatonin is stronger than this. can barely function after taking it twice.

It's easy pop the stupid pill wait 15 for pain relief right wrong pop the pill for no pain relief at all. You just took something that could have some bad side effects thinking your going to get some relief but no you are not it's a joke pill so doctors can line their pockets and you can take a placebo pill trying to trick you into thinking your going to get relief.

Taken for muscle tightness in right leg due to severe stenosis in the lumbar spine. Usually take at bedtime a half pill, or whole pill after hard physical work. Had none of the listed side effects. It lets me sleep but does not make me drowsy and there are no hangover effects in the morning.

Hi folks, I took this to treat costochodritis - doctor prescribed and it has seriously helped me sleep again. I was waking up maybe 3-4 times a night in some back discomfort but when I started taking this I started getting up to 6 hours straight then I'm only up briefly and able to sleep again for a couple more hours. It's been a blessing. I don't know how I'll get off it though - I might love it too much. Some tough wake up's with this so I recommend take it around 9pm if you need to get at 8am.Read More Read Less

I have been suffering from neck pain for several years. Thanks to my neurologist who I saw for my headaches. After looking at my MRI of my head, he told me the problem was my neck. He prescribed this medication for me, 10 mgs once a day. I was taking it every morning and it would make me sleepy. I started taking it at night and I was pain free all day. When I ran out, my PCP would not prescrib this medication. I eventually went to a pain clinic where I was offered to take this medication and go for an injection. I have not had the injection yet, but this drug has saved me from a lot of pain. When I google it , the recommended time line to take it is less than 3 weeks but I have been taking it for over a month. After many years of neck pain I found something that helps!

28 male, 5”11 220lbs. Broke glass and used a short Broom that was up to my waist and it had me bend and reach at a awkward angle. Bent down as well while sweeping into dust pan. Stood up and it felt like someone stabbed me in my love handle/glute location. Tried to walk and fell down to on my knees and had to crawl. Discomfort and intolerable pain in each position I laid. Opioids didn’t work at all. Went to emergency after a day of suffering and got cyclobenzaprine prescribed. Kicked in when I got home and I couldn’t believe how much this helped me. Day 3 and everything went away and my lower back glut and legs were numb. No more shooting pain from hamstring down to my toes. Posture was normal after using toilet, before it made me crooked and had to crawl into bed. After 3 weeks of taking one before bed, I’m.cured.Read More Read Less

When I took the medication, it made me sleepy, but it gave me very bad diarrhea So of course I can't take it.

Cyclobenzaprine is a miracle drug for me. I have several ruptured disks in my spine and this drug enables me to function and complete chores, etc. I have used this drug for years when needed and will probably use it for the rest of my life. I experience no side effects. I am so grateful for this drug.

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.
