Side affects of flexeril

Answer 1

Flexeril can occasionally give withdrawal symptoms of nausea, headache, flu like feelings, and trouble falling asleep, if you have been on it for a while. I've been on 10mg for 2.5 years and haven't really slept in the last 3 nights since I stopped it despite taking other medications that normally knock me out. I recall this happening last time I stopped taking them after a prolonged period and it just faded over a few days. Taper off it if you can.

Answer 2

Flexeril is a brand name, commonly prescribed muscle relaxant called Cyclobenzaprine. This medication is typically only used for a short amount of time, usually up to three weeks, and used in combination with physical therapy and plenty of rest. Muscle injuries such as sprains, strains, and spasms are the most common reasons Flexeril is prescribed.
