| 1 | muscle soreness in shoulder/arm | hallucinations | Saw ants and gold fish all over the bed, worms in my food, animals morphing into other animals, hearing noises, small birds hiding in the curtains, saw people looking in through the window then they morhphed into animals, water would come from somewhere and get all over the bed....BE VERY WARY OF TAKING THIS MEDICINE.

Can't sleep, dry mouth. | I stopped taking it because of side effects. | M | 69 | 6 days 10 Mg 1X day | 12/13/2023 | 3 | Back Spasms and Pain | Flexeril has a eurphoric component and rather dulls ones mind. The very worst aspect of this medication is the psychological effects it had on me. For 6 months I was very irritable and no idea why, until I stopped Flexeril and that irritable, kind of angry feeling totally disippated within 2 days. | Excellent for back spasms if the irritability side effect is one you do not suffer. | M | 67 | 180 days | 1/16/2009 | 1 | cervical spasms and trapezoid spasm | Dry mouth and throat,anxiety,restless legs,pounding heart,confusion,headache,insomnia | Took pain away after one pill but not worth all the side effects. | F | 67 | 3 days | 10/24/2015 | 1 | back pain | All it did was make me restless and jittery. So jittery in fact, that I could not sleep and was always tired. | F | 66 | 14 days 10 mg 2X day | 5/17/2016 | 5 | muscle pain, locking up, back pain | Coughing, build up of mucuces | F | 64 | 2 weeks | 5/24/2016 | 3 | trouble sleeping | Headaches (daily after 45 or so days) so can't take any more. | Helped sleeping & arthritis. | F | 64 | 60 days 5 mg. 1X day | 6/8/2011 | 1 | muscle spasms | Very sleepy,depressed,very hungry. | F | 64 | 1 days 10mg | 4/15/2016 | 1 | hip and leg pain | Took flexeril for 5 days. The first evening I took it, I slept like a log. For the following days I had insomnia/waking up several times during the night. In the morning I felt like I had a hangover and was extemely tired for most of the day. I was lethargic, had bloating, stomach cramps, swelling of my feet and ankles, constipation, vertigo, hot flashes, and on the fifth day, severe spasms in my feet and ankles that traveled up one leg. | This medication now resides in the trash. I never had so many side effects from one drug. | F | 64 | 5 days | 4/29/2009 | 2 | Back muscle spasms | groggy, slurred words, lethargy, dry mouth, intense thirst, loss of appetite | F | 63 | 1 days 10 MG 1X day | 1/18/2012 | 1 | arthritis in neck | Extreme drowsiness. Headache. | Totally zonked out on this drug. The only thing it did for the pain was to help me sleep through it. Now taking chlorzoxazone. It takes away the pain and muscle spasms with no side effects to speak of. Slight drowsiness that goes away in about an hour, | F | 63 | 3 days ? 1X day | 8/17/2010 | 1 | severe arm/shoulder pain | no relief from pain, in fact added pain in my legs. Also fast heart, and knocked me out entire day I slept. I see no benefit from taking this drug. | After reading ingredients, wonder why it's prescribed to anyone. So many other drugs for pain that do not have this side effect. | F | 63 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 9/9/2018 | 4 | back and neck strain | this drug really helps my back and neck pain...I take it at night because it makes me very drowsy... Since I have such bad reactions to meds and get side effects like crazy, I break the pill in half...The only thing I notice is occasionally I feel a little nauseous in the mornings after I take the pill but other than that, it really helps ease the muscle aches when I get them | F | 62 | 3 days 10 mg 1X day | 2/24/2013 | 1 | neck & shoulder pain | Always tired. Everything was an effort. Finally, recognized lethargy and stopped. | Recommended in combination with tylenol as couldn't use blood thinner. I wouldn't recommend. | M | 62 | 5 months 1X day | 7/5/2010 | 1 | pinched nerve, sciatica, muscle spa | 10 mg is much much much too strong for anyone to take unless you wish to be in a coma or out-of-it for days. This is a powerful dosage and should not be given to patients. I took it at bedtime and my husband woke me up at NOON the next day and i did NOT wish to wake up. I had a terrible drug hangover and could not function. I didn't care about anything. I could have slept standing up. The next evening, I felt naucous and went into the bathroom and started to sweat and shake. My skin was pooling with sweat, beads dropping from my hairline onto my face, my legs were shaking. I managed to make it back to bed and everything went 'quiet'.....i lay there and finally went to sleep, exhausted. It's now the 3rd day and I'm still TIRED. Man. I do not recommend this drug unless absolutely necessary. Certainly a lower dosage. | there must be a better drug. | F | 62 | 1 days 10mg 3X day | 8/8/2011 | 4 | L4-5 fusion with severe DDD | It works as anticipated. | Had to stop taking it after 4 nights as it constipated me terribly even though I was consuming a lot of water. | F | 61 | 4 days 10 1X day | 1/2/2015 |
