I cant speak to flexeril, but I know from experience that tramadol can cause drastic weight loss. I went from 180 to 135 in just over a year. Stay away from this poison! Tramadol killed my appetite.

Thank you for your answer. I don't need to lose or gain. Appreciate the input.

Just a little more input. I was not taking any other medication. The only change I made to my lifestyle was Tramadol. No excercise, no change in diet, I just was never hungry while taking Tramadol. I went to my Dr., full physical... nothing going on organically, it had to be the pill. I am tapering off and almost completely done with it and I am gaining the weight right back, thank god.

Sorry so late answering... it took about 7 months i think? But i took it over the prescribed dose, which i wouldn't recommend!!! It did take me only 3/4 months to put it all back on when i stopped! And i had to stop as it messed my head up pretty well!

I have been on both before. I do agree Tramadol does make you lose weight drastically and you lose alot of your taste from it therefor you don't want to eat, losing weight. Though the Flexeril does not have this effect it is very helpful with the muscle pain and spasms. Good luck on the Tramadol it is addicting despite what the doctors say. Actually anything can be very addictive if not taken appropriately, but the Tramadol is addicting fast especially if you need alot of it. Good luck bido.
