I was having a horrible time at work because I was sweating profusely. I didn't know was causing the discomfort. Constipation was bad as well. However the excessive sweating would cause me to dehydrate to the point of vomiting. Finally, one night I decided to take my pills before work that evening to help with the pain I was in. That night was the worst. Middle of February on a freight dock and i was soaking wet in sweat. I knew it was the flexerill. Also hindered urination. and would piss myself without my knowledge of doing so. Nothing but poison | M | 40 | 56 days 10 | 2/17/2019 | 1 | Back pain | NUMBING and TINGLING of left foot and leg. Loss of ability to move left foot. Sciatica pain which I never experienced before! Tingling in left side of face and ear. Persistent drowsiness. It works on the nervous system and so I had a lot of anxiety nervous energy and crying from pain and numbness. | This drug did not fix my back at all just gave me lots of new symptoms and neuropathy I never had before. How was this drug approved??????????? | F | 29 | 10 days 10 | 10/15/2018 | 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 | 1 | Shoulder pain | Dry mouth, foggy mind, anger, irritation, high blood pressure, high heart rate, headache | These suck! Did nothing for my pain. Aleve worked 10x better. It’s been 5 days and I still have this high heartbeat. Usually mid to high 70’s laying down. At 110 right now and been laying down for over a hour. Oh and these constant warm sensations suck the big one. From what I see, these mess with your mind more then they help with pain. | M | 33 | 4 days 10 | 10/7/2017 | 1 | Leg pain | Nausea passing out dizzy diahreea muscle pain headaches etc | I will not ever take this again rather deal with the pain | F | 1 days | 9/20/2017 | 1 | Back pain | felt very high, couldn't focus on anything, almost fell over, my muscles were so relaxed that I wet the bed because I couldn't make it to the bathroom fast enough. Took 3 pills yesterday and thought I was going to die. I couldn't walk and still had severe back pain. It is now 3:15pm and I am still having side effects, almost 24 hours later. I will never take this medicine again. | M | 29 | 1 days 10 3X day | 8/26/2017 | 1 | Fibroid pain low back pain | Severe auditory hallucinations, insomnia, mania, anxiety | Started taking in early late April for fibroid pain and low back pain caused by fibroids. At first it work to put me asleep. I was out cold probably the first week of taking 1 pill nightly. After about two weeks, I started up hear voices and thought at the time that my neighbors from upstairs were talking about me. I didn't not realize at the time it was linked to flexeril.... I honestly thought my neighbors were really having conversations about me! It was that real to me! I did not stop taking them and it had been over 3 weeks. I could now hear voices outside. Starbucks, the gym, in my car and I still thought that it was just me going crazy. As the month ended my boyfriend simply could not handle me anymore and took me to the emergency room. The gave me haldol and I fell asleep for about half a day. When I awake all the sounds disappeared. I wanted to go home but the insisted on holding me for three days then they released me to an outside mental facility where the kept me for five days! I was horrified by this whole experience. Since I've been home all symptoms have gone away. Please. Do not take flexeril. Do not even consider it for pain. It has terrible side effects and will alter your mind. Had I just googled cyclibenzaprene/ flexeril side affects, I would have never taken it. I spent a good month on this before I realized it's harm. | F | 44 | 0 days 10 | 8/22/2017 | 1 | Muscle spasms | Taking while in a skilled nursing facility.

Ive been off of it for over a week and I still experience them daily. This drug is evil and I wish I would have never taken it. I even had a mental breakdown because I thought I was going crazy. I was rushed to the ER 4 times in one week and admitted because of this drug. Stay away from it!! | F | 29 | 7 days 10 | 7/1/2017 | 1 | Muscle spasms | This drug is the devil. I took .5mg three nights in a row. The first 2 nights I was knocked out cold. Last night, I experienced rapid, pounding heart, dry mouth, visual disturbances, and extreme dizziness. I could not sleep at all. I feared for my life, and thought that I should call 911. But, being on so many meds for medical issues, I am used to side effects. But this one takes the cake.

This is no exaggeration. | M | 45 | 3 days 10 | 6/27/2017 | 1 | Surgery L5-S1, multiple back issues | Made me pass out, went down hard. Messed up my knee bad. Dizzy, hands jerking, knees buckling.
