Muscle Relaxers

Flexeril or its generic Cyclobenzaprine are muscle relaxers that works by creating a barrier between the nerves and the brain, therefore blocking the sensation of pain.

When using Flexeril it’s important to get plenty of rest along with physical therapy to treat the actual injury.

You should never give your prescription medication to someone else to take. Use only as prescribed to the person who it was initially prescribed to. Anyone with drug abuse history should consult with their doctor before taking muscle relaxers. Be sure to put your prescription medication in a secure place where not everyone has access.

If you take Flexeril for a long period of time, you may experience withdrawals when you stop taking it. Speak to your doctor before just suddenly stopping the medication. He/she may want to lessen the dosage gradually before stopping all together. Drinking alcohol while taking Flexeril can increase drowsiness. Muscle relaxers can have certain side effects such as impairing your reactions and thinking process.

Consult with your doctor before taking Flexeril and let him/her know of any allergies you may have to certain medications, or have problems with liver or kidney disease or epilepsy.

Having any of these conditions doesn’t necessarily mean you can not take Flexeril, however, your doctor may need to adjust the dosage and require further testing to assure your safety in taking this muscle relaxer.
