User Reviews for Flexeril

Has helped tremendously. I am taking 10mg twice a day plus a narcotic. I feel Great as long as I get enough sleep. Virtually no pain due to severe osteoarthritis.

I have taken this medcation for years. When my sciatica acts up, I take two and Aleve and go to bed, within a few hours I start feeling better. It is not a pain killer--it is a muscle relaxer.

Am now on Skelaxin 800mg. Flexeril wasn't as good as Skelaxin for me.

This was the first time I had ever taken cyclobenzaprine. I took one (1) 10mg on a Thursday evening about 6:30 pm, and all day the next day I felt slight confusion, loss of concentration and it felt like my head was in a fog. Did not help with pain but allowed me to get some much needed sleep.

Brand Name works great. Does the job and not even noticeable to myself that I've taken it. It will make me sleepy once I lay down, but fully functional on this medication until then. I've taken this drug since 1992. Unfortunately can NOT find this medicine in Brand name.

This has been a wonderful addition to the pain medicines, with enabling a reduction in pain medicines from using this to stop the spasms that irritated the nerves. With my nerves less irritated, I was more fun to be around!

Flexeril and Percocet are the only medicines that help me out of pain with a herniated L5 dics and a pinched nerve.

Dry mouth is a side effect that is most unpleasant

I think it works for my sciatica but I'm unusually weak after I wake up.

Too weak, acts slowly, I don't feel relaxed after taking it.

First time I took Flexeril I slept 15 hours straight.

This is my first time to use it. I take it as soon as I wake up and it does make a difference, but doesn't do a lot for the pain.

I suffered horribly from sciatica. Flexeril helps loosen my leg and back. It helps with muscle spasms. I can tell before my leg is ready to lock up. I take Flexeril and in 20 minutes, it loosens up. With a combination of medicines and stretching, I am recovering.

I agree with the previous person on this medication for sciatica. It does help you to sleep but does nothing for pain throughout the day.

Flexeril does not really take away my pain, but it helps me relax and sleep. If you take too much, it will cause confusion.
