I recently injured my lower back and was told by my doctor to take 600 mg of ibuprofen three times a day along with a prescribed 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine. After 4 days of following this routine, my friends invited me to go out for a drink one night. Fearing that drinking alcohol and taking the amount of medication prescribed might cause adverse effects, I called up my pharmacist and ask him if it was possible to have alcohol while taking my meds.

I told him that that morning I had taken 600 mg of ibuprofen and asked whether it was ok to take 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine. He laughed and told me that one night of drinking alcohol was not going to effect me. He also told me that I might get plastered much quicker than I normally would, but it wouldn't hurt me. Basically, he explained that 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine would pretty much double the alcoholic effects of one beer on my system; therefore, he advised that I not over do it, and drink half of what I normally do. Other than that, he said it would be fine and it wouldn't kill me (which I was afraid it might do; I'm a semi-phobic about taking any drugs what so ever).

Just know your limit and try not to binge drink. This drug follows the "too much of a good thing, is a bad thing" rule.

Can you take hydrocodone and cyclobenzaprine together?

Yes, they are commonly prescribed together. However, both of these medications will cause a lot of drowsiness. Only take them as prescribed, and do not do anything that would require your attention (i.e. drive, operate machinery, go to work..) or drink alcohol. The best place to be when having either of these is at home.

It is not recommended to drink when on Flexeril and Xanax. Mixing three different CNS depressants is not a good idea and can lead to serious problems. If the alcohol consumption was kept very low, i.e one beer drunk slowly, it would most likely be fine but any time you mix and benzodiazepine and alcohol you're putting yourself at risk, let alone with cyclobenzaprine in the mix.
