"I've had really bad back pain since an injury back in 2014. I fell and injured my L4, L5, and S1. I've had pain off and on throughout then and now, but for the past 2-3 months, I've been catching hell with this excruciating pain. It's been hard to get in and out of bed, move around, sit up, etc. I went to my PCP five days ago, and she prescribed me cyclobenzaprine. I'm so grateful that she did. I take 10mg at night just before bed. I have never slept so well. I wake up feeling a lot less pained. I am in a much better mood now. The difference is like night and day. I have been able to focus more at work, and I'm able to get much more work done around the house. This med has definitely been a game-changer for me. It DOES make you sleep, so it might be best to take it before you go to bed. Other than that, there's nothing negative I can say about my experience."

"I have been taking this for about a week. I have a shoulder injury that is causing my arms to go numb in certain positions. This medication does help with the pain somewhat, but I'm still having numbness and tingling in my arms. It hasn't relaxed my muscles enough to relieve the entire issue. Side effects make me very tired, and I have also had violent nightmares every night that I took this. I skipped a day and did not have a nightmare. Not sure that I want to continue this course of treatment."

"Years ago, being a sign-man, standing around doing road work, it ended up hurting people's backs. A lot of people I knew were taking cyclobenzaprine. One day my back was killing me, and against my better judgment I took a 10mg tablet. It was given to me. Wow, my back stopped hurting and I lay down in what should be an uncomfortable position, but I felt nothing. I was dizzy from 10mg, that lasted until the next day. I saw how powerful it was. Only take when and as prescribed! I exercised and changed some habits. NSAIDs don't work for me, but I don't need Cyclobenzaprine. On a side note, years later, someone I knew broke their back. They were given many medications. They said Cyclobenzaprine helped with the pain the most, more than opiates or NSAIDs. It serves a very good purpose when used correctly. It was a real lifesaver for my friend with the broken back. (Car accident)"
