I've been on valium for anxiety for years now, but recently I've been having problems after moving and was prescribed cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxant). Is it safe to mix the two?
Is it safe to mix cyclobenzaprine and valium ?

Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxer AKA Flexeril. Valium has also ben used as a muscle relaxer but is a mild Benzo. If you take the two together you will probably end up very tired so I would recommend separating them if you can, they are both mild drugs but the Valium can get addicting after awhile if you are not real careful. Please ask you doctor if this is safe for you as I am not a professional just talking from experience here. I have been on both before. Hope this helps. marjorie zych
^No no, cyclobenzaprine isnt a benzo, its a muscle relaxer. I dont know if the two would have a bad interaction but they definitely arent both benzos
They are both benzos just would up your chance becomeing more addicted i would just take it 2 times day in morning and nite its more of muscle relaxer type so make sure ur not going to going anywhere until you know how you will react.
