Hope it helps, back stuff sucks! That's what the ER gave me. My ortho surgeon switched me to Skelaxin. He classified flexeril as no better than roofies.

I take two flexiril every night along with a cocktail of 4 other pills to help my neck and back after a three car accident. I was the last car that took the brunt.
Yes, happy is right.
Feel better, swamp.

I used to take Flexeril when I was misdiagnosed with M.S. 30 years ago. I used to have a strong reaction to even a part of a pill, so I couldn't drive when I was taking it. It sure was relaxing, though. I always felt like I was relaxing in a hot tub, for some reason.

I was prescribed it for muscle spasms. Alone, it doesn't do too much or me. But if I take it with a narcotic, it knocks me out.

Skelaxin will do as well as flexeril without making you sleepy.

Flexeril used to knock me out for 10 hours plus. If I had to wake up before that it was hell. Apparently it messes with your sleep cycles so you never hit the deep sleep stage. It doesn't make me sleepy anymore. They gave me that and vicodin 2x in ER and I was still wide awake.
Skelaxin does make me sleepy sometimes. It's mostly on days that I didn't get enough sleep the night before. Despite being generic, my insurance paid $385 for a bottle of 90. Flexeril is much cheaper.

Her chiro gives her scripts for bj's. I'd prefer the drugs, myself.

I fell on the ice. Twice. In one day. You still have ice there? Bummer. (((It fell out of her cocktail glass. The first time was an innocent accident. The second time was after several drinks so was a train wreck waiting to happen.))) P.S. Sorry to hear, Swamp. Glad the drugs are working. Any chance you have court today? I could use a good chuckle and could probably make it if I leave right away.

What kind of weirdo am I where fleiril doesn't even make a dent in my spasms nor does it knock me out.

What kind of weirdo am I where fleiril doesn't even make a dent in my spasms nor does it knock me out. Same kind of weirdo as me. I need to take it with a vicodin chaser to get rid of spasms! The doctor said that that combo is more effective than higher doses of either drugs individually. Neither vicodin or flexeril alone knock me out, but if I take them together, I'm out for the next 6 hours.

Luckily a huge chunk of my spasms are where the botox for migraines shots go, so I got that and it's helped a lot. I'm currently being sent off to PT for my neck/middle back stuff that the botox doesn't hit. No one ever told me to try vicodin with flexeril. After trying flexeril a few times I forgot about it and just went to the vicodin to mask it on bad days.

I took the combo in the ER and proceeded to be wide awake for the next 10 hours. I wish it would have knocked me out.
And I'm a dumbass who left the Nabumetone and Skelaxin at home today. Vicodin is my friend today. 5mg takes the edge off enough for me to concentrate at work.
The surgeon gave me Robaxin to try last time. It doesn't work as well as Skelaxin.
Falling on ice is how I hurt my back the first time. It sucks, hope you get better soon swamp.

Flexiril is just another name for a myriad of renamed drugs that people will be suing for later. when their livers fail. later. Take it at your own peril.
