Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) is not classified as a controlled substance in the United States, and is therefore considered non-addictive by the federal government. Having said that, many patients do find the side effects (drowsiness, dizziness) desirable, and will abuse the drug to achieve a feeling of detachment. This is dangerous.

Cyclobenzaprine is not classified as a controlled substance and is not assigned to any schedule under the Controlled Substances Act. It is a prescription medication typically used as a muscle relaxant to relieve muscle spasms. While it can lead to dependence in some cases, it is generally considered to have a lower potential for abuse compared to scheduled medications. Always consult a healthcare provider for information specific to your situation.


Is hydrocodone a muscle relaxer?

No. Cyclobenzaprine is a skeletal muscle relaxant chemically related to tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) such as amitriptyline and imipramine. Under Federal law (American) a narcotic only refers to opioids (Heroin, morphine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, methadone) and cocaine. Under Canadian law a narcotic only refers to drugs classified as schedule I or schedule II controlled substances (opioids, cocaine, hallucinogens, ketamine, cannabinoids). Medically speaking only opioids are considered narcotics. Thus cyclobenzaprine is not a narcotic by legal and medical definitions. Cyclobenzaprine is also not a controlled substance in any respect and it it not an addictive drug nor is it a recreational drug Cyclobenzaprine is indicated as an adjunct to rest and physical therapy for relief of muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions
