Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant, but it is not psychoactive and does not produce any euphoria. It can make you very, very sleepy, especially when you first start using it. If you continue to use it, eventually it stops making you tired.

I can see how a naive kid could take it and think that the tiredness is somehow a "mind-altering" experience, but it is not. Any experienced drug user would know that cyclobenzaprine (a.k.a. Flexeril) is not a drug of abuse.

An overdose of cyclobenzaprine can cause "anticholinergic toxidrome" with a fatal outcome, via heart arrhythmia, leading to cardiac arrest and death.

If someone has overdosed on Flexeril, do not hesitate to call 911.

For some, a single 60mg dose can be enough to alter heart rhythm.

Anecdotally, I can't tolerate Flexeril 5mg because it makes my heart race. It was an otherwise unpleasant experience.
