Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I have been in hospital for 3 weeks now. It started out as obstructive jaundice, which they put in a stint and started me on Vidocin. The vicodin worked great for my abdominal pain, but did nothing for the spasms I started getting in my back after being in the hospital bed for over 2 weeks. Finally, after 2 days of intensely painful and nearly uncontrolable back spasms, they put me on Flexeril. I'm finally able to move around and breath normally without triggering more spasms. Thank God for Flexeril. The pain is nearly gone. It didn't shut it out entrirely, but it made it bearable enough that I'm finally able to move, instead of having to stay perfectly still and take shallow breaths to avoid triggering another one.

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.

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 use Flexeril for muscle spasms that I have in my left arm and shoulder. One of the side effects of this medication is that it causes severe drowsiness. Once I take the medication, I must go to bed immediately. I am able to sleep through the night where before the spasms would wake me throughout the night. When I first began to take the medication, I found that I was very tired when I awoke in the morning. To combat this, I go to bed about two hours earlier. This is appearing to work out well. Now I awake rested and free of tightness, aches, and pains.

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.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I have taken Flexeril for over 6 years on and off. Using Flexeril for chronic pain due to a fall and a spinal birth abnormality. I cannot take most pain pills. I'm allergic to aspirin. I find that when the pain is so bad that I cannot sleep, Flexeril allows me a good night sleep, in turn I am less agitated. Making me better able to cope with the pain on my own. It has been a life saver for me.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I had some very tight, non-spasming, muscles in my back. Acute myo-fasciatis or something like that. For some reason, my doctor prescribed Flexeril, Vicodin 5/500 and 800 mg Ibuprofen. I didn't like the idea of taking Ibuprofen with acetaminophen, so I just used the Flexeril and Vicodin. It worked very well, but I couldn't do anything but turn into a pile on the couch when taking both.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): This drug has been very helpful for my pulled muscles, since I am allergic to aspirin, motrin, naproxen and all other drugs like that. At least there is something I can take, thank you!

Amrix (cyclobenzaprine): Regarding the comment above that states Flexeril works but Amrix does not... as a pharmacist, I would like to clarify that both Flexeril and Amrix are brand names of the drug cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxant. Flexeril is released all at once, thus must be taken multiple times daily. Amrix is released slowly over 24 hrs, thus it is taken once daily.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I was taking Flexeril for muscle spasm's in my back. It would reliave the pain a little bit, but when I did my exercises and took Flexeril it helped. For severe pain I had to take Percocet. The two worked well together.

Amrix (cyclobenzaprine): Amrix is the first muscle relaxer that has worked for me. I have multiple situations, my main complaint is a cramp that goes from my upper neck and right shoulder all the way down below the small of my back just to the right of my spine. Amrix helps me tremendously. I am so grateful for this medicine.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): I took Flexeril because I had been feeling intense back muscle pain. I was told that it would make me sleepy and feel relaxed. I took it at 9:00pm thinking it was going to kick in quickly! I was wrong, 15 minutes later nothing! So I made dinner went online, then out of nowhere my neck felt heavy like I couldn't hold my head up and I stumbled to my bed. I saw the clock and it showed 11:00ish. I slept like a baby! Woke up feeling great the next day well rested and my back felt better.

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine): Calms muscles enough to be able to work them, and therapy is essential.

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: 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 went to my internal medicine doctor on June 10. Told her about my right shoulder hurting - she gave me Flexeril and naproxen together - they work for my condition: rotator cuff. I've taken Flexeril in the past for muscle spasms. The only side effect with it is dry mouth. I don't have any side effects with naproxen.

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!

Amrix (cyclobenzaprine): Don't take it in the morning or you may be sleepy all day. Doctor told me to take it about 6PM. No problem after the change.
