| 1 | Shoulder Injury | Dry mouth, muscle weakness, anxiety, fogginess, blurred vision. | The side effects are terrible. Do not take this medication! I can barely function. Not worth a nights sleep! | F | 53 | 3 days 5mg | 1/19/2017 | 1 | muscle spasms | Took one before bed woke with face all swelled up mouth, neck, eyes and cheeks and extremely thirsty. | F | 38 | 1 days | 1/7/2017 | 1 | For chronic pelvic pain. | I was suicidal after the second pill. Very depressed. Very tired. Hopeless. | Be careful. | F | 44 | 1 days 30mg | 12/29/2016 | 1 | TMJ and headaches | Nausea, felt like going crazy, weird eye sensations, suicidal thoughts, but it did give me a great night sleep! | Do not take if you are very sensitive to medication!!!! | M | 48 | 1 days 10 3X day | 10/21/2016 | 1 | Neck pain from being rear-ended. | Explosive anger stemming from uncharacteristic irritability induced by this drug. The medication made me sleep about 14 hours a day when I generally only sleep 5 on my own. The medication also wasn't effective for the pain. Maybe for two hours tops I would feel disoriented to the point of feeling like I was in less pain. Overall would never touch this drug again. | F | 24 | 4 days 5 mg | 9/12/2016 | 1 | "Neck Muscle Spasm" | Extreme muscle fatigue the next day. Able to walk, grab, pull, push for a few seconds, then exhausted. Neck, shoulders, elbows, knees, full hands and feet all exhausted 3 days later. | Vile drug that has made me worse. I can barely get around at all. | M | 38 | 1 days 5MG 1X day | 8/20/2016 | 1 | Lower back pain | Took away the pain after 1 dose but made me very sleepy the next day. Still feeling lightheaded and foggy even 3 days after I stopped taking it. Very dangerous and scary drug. Wish I never took it. I'm glad I stopped. Just waiting for the side effects to go away. I don't recommend this drug to anyone!!! | F | 36 | 1 days 10 mg | 8/6/2016 | 1 | Strained Muscle | Fatigued And Body Numbness | I wouldn't recommend this drug . Made body numb and very sleepy. Currently waiting for side affects to subside | M | 17 | 1 days 10 | 7/26/2016 | 1 | Lower back pain. | Let me give you some general information about myself. I'm twenty-three years old, I'm 277 pounds, and I'm a girl. Prior to this medication, I was 288 pounds. I took this medication only three days and suffered horrible side-effects. I've always been moderately depressed, yet I've always kept in check, I've been walking and exercising, working a great job and making friends. But depression has always been a constant with me. I think the cyclobenzaprine pushed me over the line, I felt great bouts of energy-- I felt amazing, I said, "Is this what it's like for people who are physically active and emotionally capable?" Eight hours pass. I'm still on a high. I feel physically tired but my mind is still going. I need to get something done, I think-- but I've already clocked out. What's going on? My mind feels blank, I can't think, my heart is pounding. I go to pick up my boyfriend, and I say several times, "Something's not right with me." Before I get home and break down into a hysterical crying fit. That wasn't the last time it'd happen while on this medicine. I cried so many more times, went to urgent care, said "I don't feel like I'm in my body.." they took my blood pressure and said it was very irregular, then along the line, someone said it was anemia. So I upped the vitamin intake and iron intake, as well as the B12.. it's helped with the side effects, I'm still recovering... but I still suffer lack of motivation and can't get out of bed. Unfortunately | Will not take again.. | F | 23 | 3 days 10 | 7/21/2016 | 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 | 1 | lower back pain rupture disk | I was given high dose of Ibuprofen 2400mg a day and told to take flexeril at night to help me sleep. DANGER BEWARE.....First the ibuprofen does not work on me at all at the level of pain. YES they say it does but nsaids never do on me maybe I'm allergic not sure tried to tell the doctor that but they don't listen. I have taken flexeril with vicadin and hydrocodone and had no problem but this time they refused to give my hydrocodone and gave me duexis some new high dosage ibuprofen and pepcid crap that by the way cost 1500.00 for a 90 day supply that they send to you in the mail? So anyway, I believe this combo is deadly. First the Duexis did nothing for pain but did prevent me from having a bowel movement for 48 hours and boy did it hurt. The flexeril now made me feel highly anxious my eye pupils where so small And my heart rate was bouncing all over the place. I can say that I never had am issue with the flexeril before with the hydrocodone but this combo of high dose ibuprofen and flexeril I feel would of killed me if I continued. The doctor will not respond to my emails about my concerns. I discontinued both and will deal with the pain because they refuse to give the codeine based products. | Like I said the flexeril and codeine based products seem ok But when they gave it to me with that Duexis high dose of Ibuprofen 2400mg a day. After only 5 pills 800 mg each and 10 mg of flexeril at night I was in extreme distress unable to have a bowel movement,highly agitated because of the pain from my ruptured disk. And highly anxious. After stopping the duexis but it was still in my system cause I couldn't go.I took only half of.my flexeril and my heart went crazy from its normal steady rate and my blood pressure went up and rate was high. I stopped both immediately. I researched it and they say it's safe but the crap together almost killed me BEWARE. | M | 52 | 3 days 10 mg | 4/24/2016 | 1 | Back pain (slipped disc) | I started feeling itchy and swollen and my heart raced. I couldn't keep my legs still and felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. I finally had to call an ambulance and be admitted to the ER for taking this med- thought it was an isolated incident but both my mom and boyfriend had the same sort of reactions within six months of mine. I had taken this med a few years ago without a problem, I'm thinking they changed the formula. Beware!!! | Would not take. Will make things MUCH WORSE than whatever your original problem was. This drug needs to be taken off the market. | F | 37 | 1 days 5mg | 4/18/2016 | 1 | muscle spasms | Very sleepy,depressed,very hungry. | F | 64 | 1 days 10mg | 4/15/2016 | 1 | MUSCLE SPASMS NECK | EXHAUSTED, Foggy thinking, depressed and anxious. I'm still trying to overcome the effects. It did help with the muscle spasms | Wow...I had surgery on my torn pec and the Dr. Gave me this to help with the muscle spasm in my neck form wearing the sling. I took 5mg last night and 5mg the morning before that. I have been in a fog all day...I was a zombie in my meetings. Almost fell asleep a few times. Super Anxious and Depressed. Be Ware. | M | 41 | 2 days 10MG 1X day | 4/12/2016 | 1 | Back spasms | Worst time of my life!!!! I took it for back spasms..& boy, I wish I had the spasms back & never took this drug. I fell asleep shortly after taking it..& woke up a couple hours later to dizziness so bad that I couldn't open my eyes. I was bedridden for a whole day. The dizziness still has yet to let up...and it's going on 5 days. I feel like I drank a huge bottle of alcohol. I attempted to eat...only to throw it up. I am still dizzy and feel horrible. This is ridiculous. I would NEVER recommend this drug. Ever. It's horrible!! And that's an understatement. | I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! HORRIBLE DRUG!!! | F | 32 | 1 days 10MG 1X day | 1/23/2016 | 1 | Tension headache | Felt shaky and heart was racing to 135 beats per minutes | Do not take please | F | 40 | 3 days 10 mg | 12/24/2015 | 1 | Back spsms | Depression and anxiety. Suicidal thoughts. Fortunately, I took a small amount of B-Complex to counteract the folic acid drop. The suicidal thoughts went away within 30 minutes. Nevertheless, the nausea and fatigue is bad. I now use the Spine Conditioning Program I downloaded from the AAOS. The progam has reduced my spasms dramatically. I will continue to use the program instead. | NSAIDs and muscle relaxers can reduce your B2, Folic Acid, B12, C, D, iron, and zinc. I had to eat sunflower seeds, take vitamin D, and B-coomplex because these meds can reduce these nutrients. I'm okay now. No bad thoughts. However, please be careful about nutrient depletions caused by these meds. | F | 51 | 1 days 5 mg 1X day | 12/19/2015 | 1 | Neck & Shoulder Pain | My face hurts and is swollen. My legs hurt. I can't stand up for more that 30secs without feeling dizzy. I have a severe headache. My ears are on fire. My throat hurts. I'm just in pain!! | I took it Tuesday night. Here it is Wednesday night & I'm still in pain & feeling drained. I wouldn't ever recommend this drug to anyone! | F | 22 | 1 days 10mg | 11/24/2015 | 1 | Severe lower back pain | Fatigue Numbness in legs and feet | I got really tired but the pain was the same. Literally did nothing for me. Hoping that after a few days, it'll start working... | F | 18 | 1 days 10 | 11/11/2015 | 1 | neck pain | Face feels like it is on fire, horrible headache and pounding heart. | I feel horrible after taking this med. | F | 45 | 1 days | 11/10/2015 |
