cyclobenzaprine: I was rear ended in an auto accident. The second doctor I saw for the whiplash injury prescribed cyclobenzaprine as well as 800mg Ibuprofen. The two work quite well together. I'm able to move with more ease during the day. It also has helped quite a bit with muscle spasms at night. The only side effects I've had are dry mouth and some minor dizzy spells.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I have been on Flexeril for 6 months, after finding out that I get muscle spasms in my neck that cause very bad migraines. I like this because I don't feel tired or loopy. It does take a little while to take effect though.

cyclobenzaprine: I had much pain for years in back of head and neck area. Asprin did not help much. I found doctor who perscribed cyclobenzaprine and it has worked very well. I sometimes use only a half a tablet and now I sleep well.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I was prescribed flexeril for muscle spasms after spraining my lower back muscles while lifting a TV by myself. It was very helpful as a part of my recovery.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I take fexeril with Ultram and it does me wonders. I'm 27 and have a very bad back and neck. I take them in the mornings to keep the pain away while staying active. The only problem I have with fexeril is that may heart likes to race every-once-in-awhile and if I take it and don't do anything I fall asleep.

cyclobenzaprine: I use cyclobenzaprine whenever I strain or pull a muscle in my lower back. Typically I have to take one dose on two consecutive days before I can feel the muscles in my back, "unclench", so that I can straighten up and move without pain.
I use a couple of Ibuprofen also to reduce inflammation. The ease and convenience is second to none.

cyclobenzaprine: After suffering from a severe back injury, I found that this medication used in conjunction with an anti-inflammatory type drug (Naproxen) was more effective than large doses of Lortab. Pain is significantly reduced without the side-effects of other pain medications. Other than not hurting as much, I can't tell I'm taking it! This is a big improvement!

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I'm not sure of the dosage that I was on, however against my doctors orders I was doubling up on my dosage. It was helpful, but not nearly as helpful as other medications that I have taken. I have a job where I have to do a lot of heavy lifting, so muscle sprains are common and something that I have commonly been treated for.
