its not a muscle relaxer per sae! but lyrica(pregabalin) is the best for neuropathic pain also lyrica has a synergystic effect with most opiate painkillers as do all common benzodiadapines which are a type of muscle relaxant such as diazepam(vallium), midazolam(dormicum), lorazepam(Ativan). or, out and out muscle relaxers which will work better with narcotics because they will still carry incidance of synergystic effects but offer less sedation and more relaxation, the most potant muscle relaxer/antispasmotic is baclofen.

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
