Flexeril

Anyone take this?

Any side effects you noticed.

There was a lot of information with this RX, it made me kind of scared to take it.

Like it said don't drink grapfruit juice or eat grapefruit.

Re: Flexeril

Ive taken it for back pain. It's muscle relaxer. I never had any problems when taking it. Just basic muscle relaxer feelings

Re: Flexeril

I have SOMA also.

My regular doctor prescribed soma and then the pain management doctor prescribed the Flexeril.

I don't know what the difference is, other than the pain mgmt doctor said that soma is an "older" drug

Re: Flexeril

I was prescribed Flexaril for AWFUL sciatica.

Haven't noticed any side effects, but I did notice that if I take it every day, it doesn't work effectively. I only allow myself to take it once per week, or maybe twice (but I'm also pregnant).

It was prescribed for the sciatica, which my Dr. believes is due to a herniated disc in my back.

Re: Flexeril

Flexeril--that's one of my favorite "foods." Just kidding. I do have a prescription for it. It works very well but it makes me tired. When I need it, I wait until evening to take it.

Re: Flexeril

I've taken flexeril and soma for a short time. I didn't have any side affects other than sometimes feeling more tired than usual. I took the flexeril right before bed and the soma I think I took 2 or 3x's/day.

Re: Flexeril

I prefer Soma. Flexeril worked ok, but Soma works better for me.
