Yes you can take vicodin with flexeril. I recently hurt my neck and I was prescribed both of these. The only thing that I suggest is that if you are going to take them both at the same time, wait until the evening, because both will make you very drowsy. The first couple of nights of taking them, I woke up in the middle of the night and was pretty out of it mentally, but that wore off.
New Answer:
I was prescribed to take 1 Flexeril and 1-2 hydrocodone (vicodin) before bed. I was in an extreme amount of pain the first night so I took 1 and 2 respectfully. When I work up in the morning I felt great, until I sat up in bed. I was incredibly dizzy and drowsy. Somehow I made it to work, though I probably shouldn't have driven, but I felt like I was ready to pass out until about 3 in the afternoon. The hydrocodone has a much stronger effect, so I only took half a tab last night and today has been much better, and my pain is still controlled. I'm still a little drowsy as I'm taking the flexeril three times a day, but nothing like yesterday. Hope that helps.
Since these are both medications which need a Dr.s prescription, you should follow their instructions. However, Flexeril and Vicoden are often prescribed together. Flexeril is a muscle relaxant and Vicoden is a narcotic for pain.
Flexeril, if taken one half hour to one hour before consumption, will intensify the muscle relaxant, painkilling effects of hydrocodone. If you find that just hydrocodone (with or without tylenol) doesn't do enough for back spasms, the muscle relaxant in Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) will help tremendously. Be warned that Flexeril is also sometimes prescribed as a sleep-aid, so if you're going to be driving or doing anything that requires you to be alert, take half of what you would normally take (of both medicines) so you can gauge the effects on your coordination. Do NOT drink (period) on opiates, and especially not with Flexeril added into the mix. You may or may not fall asleep or nod off unexpectedly, may become physically ill or find an intense loss of coordination.
This combinatin of medications is often prescribed together; one being a muscle relaxant and the other a painkiller. Be careful not to exceed dosage.

Dentist tell you to take ibuprofen naproxen together for a short duration it is supposed to give the same effect of Vicodin without the narcotic effect How can you say no when Doctors say yes?
Ibuprofen and Naproxen are the same thing, both an hormonal, anti inflammatory and are the same active drug but in a slightly different form Naproxen being moderately stronger. Vicodin has AP in it generally in the 320-750 range which is very similar to the active In Naproxen, but it has Hydrocodon which is the narcotic, which is an opiate and a strong one at that, this giving the "narcotic Affect". You will not have similar affects taking The two together any where near Vicodin, and i would be very careful with taking them together low dosages 500 Naproxen and 400-600 Ibuprofen is the max and defiantly not good for your stomach make sure you take food to reduce damage.
