| 5 | Intense back pain | Felt very relaxed and tired after about 2 hours after but was so worth it to have no pain and sleep all night . I did find i had to double up to 20mg to get full rielef | F | 41 | 1 months 10mg 3 day | 7/9/2014 | 1 | severe muscle tension | Relieves tension but is Horrible and frightening! Unlike everyone else, it seemingly slows my heart rate severely which corresponds with the sensation of my body slowing down so much it feels like a body wide shut down. I only take half of a 10mg pill before bed when the pain is completely unbearable (I'm allergic to all opioids) and have startled myself awake several times from not breathing which triggers anxiety (and why wouldn't it when you wake up because you realize you're not breathing) | F | 22 | 1 days 10 mg | 6/17/2014 | 1 | torn rotator cuff | Blurred vision, palpitations, rapid heart rate, dizziness | F | 40 | 1 weeks 10 | 6/16/2014 | 1 | herniated disc, back pain, SLAP rep | Made me nuts. Slept great, bad mood swings, exhaustion, anxiety. Not worth the side effects. | F | 59 | 2 months | 6/15/2014 | 3 | Back pain muscle spasms | Extreme dry mouth, depression, mood swings | I had to have my upper teeth removed we think most likely from extreme dry mouth and my teeth were decaying. I always read about drugs I'm on because I have so many health problems but guess I forgot about the dry mouth and what it can do...Made me very sleepy when I didn't want to be sleepy..helps but not worth taking. | F | 53 | 30mg 2X day | 6/6/2014 | 3 | neck and back pain due to epidural | anxiety, to the point It put me in an asthma attack, seeing things that weren't there, and so tired that i couldn't even keep my eyes open. i had to pull over on the side of the road after my hospital visit where they gave me this before i left, and take a nap i fell asleep while driving! god knows how long i was out for and thankfully no one got hurt! | F | 20 | 10 days 10 | 6/4/2014 | 1 | neck pain | Mood swings I'm mad at everything getting in fights with my love ones for no reason hearing things seening things that r not their after first week it got worse to the point I can't stand myself I'm miserable I have no energy and I feel hung over I'm no longer taken this drug | F | 33 | 2 weeks 10mg | 6/2/2014 | 1 | Lower back pain | Extreme dry mouth, slurred speech, awful taste in my mouth which has remained even though I have not taken this drug in the past month. | M | 42 | 1 weeks 10 mg | 5/31/2014 | 5 | Muscle knots, spasm and stiftness. | Marked drowsiness 3-4 hrs. after taking it. Dry mouth. | I've found Flexeril superior to Valium for muscle stiffness & pain in back and neck -- believe it or not. However, Valium of course is more powerful on a psychological level. Flexeril mixes well with therapeutic doses of codeine and tramadol. But Flexeril doesn't mix with Valium -- apparently it raises serum levels of Valium substantially, making it feel like you took 2x Valium. Anyhow, Flexeril, despite it's heavy side effects, is the most effective drug I've taken for muscular stiffness and pain. | M | 49 | 9 months 10 2X day | 5/17/2014 | 5 | Herniation of the C4, C5, C6 | Drowsiness. | My dosage is 3x daily at 10mg. However, I typically will take just 1 as needed, unless I'm not planning to do something productive, like work the next day, then I will take 2 at most. It's very helpful for the muscles spasms in my neck and back after a car accident. I don't take it daily, just as needed. I haven't experienced any of the other side effects others have noted, just extreme drowsiness which is helpful when trying to get some rest. | F | 43 | 3 years 10mg 1X day | 4/29/2014 | 5 | Back pain | Relaxed | F | 44 | 7 days 5mg | 4/25/2014 | 5 | NECK PAIN | TIREDNESS DON'T CARE ATTITUDE | I have never taken a muscle relaxer and was a little scared. but the pain in my neck was unbearable and I would rather be dead than suffer this much. It helped me sleep but I did not want to wake up. I'm at work now and very dazed but can still work. Not sure if I should have drove. I like this feeling of calmness and I don't give a crap attitude. Not at all like me. | F | 54 | 1 days 10 1X day | 4/2/2014 | 3 | car accident | Yes I say this medicine does work but the next day anxiety like everything each time I took medicine it had to be on a weekend because I work full time and u cannot do a lot of activity after this medicine OMG dry mouth is unbelievable I don't recommended this medicine | F | 30 | 4 years 10 | 3/16/2014 | 1 | Neck tension headache | I'd had a really bad tension headache for about 2 weeks and when I went to urgent care they gave me 10 mg of the generic flexeril. I saw that it may cause drowsiness so I took it at 3 pm when I got home. I slept from 3 to 6 and then again from 8 to 5 the next morning and I still felt messed up like I shouldn't drive to work. It took 24 hours for me to feel functional again after taking the 1 pill. I am a smaller female weighing 110 lbs so things tend to hit me harder but I was not prepared for this. The next couple of days I have had some of the worst anxiety I have ever experienced. After reading other reviews on here I have come to the conclusion they are most likely related. I will not be taking this drug again. | F | 32 | 1 days 10 | 2/3/2014 | 1 | sciatica and muscle spasms in lower | Extreme drowsiness and dry mouth. It has done nothing for my pain. It almost feels worse. Also numbness in lips. Never will I take this again | F | 27 | 1 days 10 mgx3 | 1/1/2014 | 3 | Chiropractic adjustment went wrong | Dry mouth, fogginess, sleepy, trouble concentrating. The worst part was my throat went numb. I told one doctor this and they said it wasn't the drug. Then I read tons of patient reports and the side effects listed by the pharmaceutical companies and there it is. I was told to go to a ENT specialist. That is just more bills. I have stopped taking it and hope that the numbness will go away soon. If it does not then I will have to assume that it is part of my injury. It has been about 36 hours and it still feels like I sprayed my throat with numbing spray. I had bad spasms after my neck locked. This did help to be honest with the spasms, but I think it should only be used for a week or so. I Think after that, it will start to do damage. | M | 40 | 30 days 10 mg 3X day | 12/14/2013 | 1 | whip lash /car accident | It's seems to be making me feel weak and like I have the flu. It also is making the pain much much worse. This medication has done absolutely nothing for my muscles or my pain. I can't even sleep through the night. I'm going to my doctor today to see if I can get something else. I mean this garbage doesn't even take the edge off. Useless in my book. | M | 18 | 5 days 10 | 11/15/2013 | 5 | For Psoriatic Arthritis/Tendinitis | Drowsy | I take this once a day at bed time and It loosens up my muscles and tendons. I wake up with less swelling and less pain too! I highly recommend it for anyone with Psoriatic Arthritis that causes Tendinitis! | F | 30 | 4 weeks 10 1X day | 11/4/2013 | 5 | Severe back spasms | I take it as needed for back pain. Lower lumbar spasms ended me up in hospital for a week last year. Works wonders | F | 28 | 1 years 10mg | 10/29/2013 | 1 | Neck spasms | Fatigue, foginess, numbness on left side of body (arm and hand) numbness in feet, rapid heart rate, hungover feeling, out of body feeling, tingling in head, irregular heart beat | F | 22 | 5 days 10 | 9/23/2013 |
