 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

 1  muscle spasms Awful, it helped with the back pain but I hated the feeling. First night I felt really out of it and fell asleep for 6 hours, woke up for a brief 30 minutes then back to sleep for 10 hours. I had really strange detailed dreams. I felt really tired when I woke up (coffee didn'tdidn't help) and groggy/hungover all day. As the day went on, I felt extremely dizzy if I stood up to fast and even blacked out. I will never use it again. F 20 1 months

 1  pulled muscle The first day I took 1 10mg tablet. I slept for 24 hours. I took half a tablet for the remaining days. I slept for over 10 hours each day. I have been extremely irritable since the first dose. I quit taking it yesterday. Today I am an emotional wreck and having suicidal thoughts. Fortunately I am rational and know this isn't normal for me. I don't take any other meds. I haven't been drinking. No history of depression, but I do suffer from the normal anxiety from time to time.

 1  Anklylosing Spondylitis At first I thought it was great but over time I realized I was having severe hallucinations and then the headaches started which lasted all day. Then fevers started and I had alot of paranoia and confusion on it. I had to stop taking it entirely. I even tried to just take 5mg a day but it still affected me badly. I am very upset about it all because I have no pain medication now. F 58 3 months

 1  Back and Neck Pain Hours later I had horrendous vertigo as if I were on a rollercoaster, weakness, queasy stomach, and even over 24 hours later, I feel like I'm hungover, dizzy, keep losing my balance.

 1  Lowback/hip pain I was prescribed 10mg 3x a day to help With my back pain, I was told I would be drowsy and it was just to loosen my back up. I took my first dose and within an hour I was fighting with all my energy to stay awake and fell asleep for 13 hours and when I could finally wake up I had for force myself up to stay awake. How could i take this pill 2x more in the day?! I was groggy for the entire next 2 days, and put me in the worst mood that took about 3 days to come out of F 24 1 days

 1  Sciatica Muscle spasms lower back Couldn't sleep because of sciatic pain so Dr prescribed Flexeril for pain relief and so I could sleep. First night slept for 14 hours. All next day severe sleepiness, hangover type headache, pain behind eye, didn't want to do anything and didn't get dressed until 3pm, total loss of motivation to do anything ! Next few nights, no pain relief at all and worse symptoms of sleepiness, headache and even anger. Will not take this again. I tried it once for TMJ and it took the muscle spasms away. This time for sciatica it is totally useless and caused so many negative symptoms, I will not take it again. Horrible drug F 60 4 days

 1  arithis pain and for muscle relaxer Really don't remember any side effects but I'm sure there were some. Did absolutely nothing for me. I got them through the VA and I finally took a couple of containers back to my PA and told him that if that was the best he could do I would just take asprin. M 55 6 months

 1  spasms following neck sprain/strain Dry mouth, tachycardia, hypertension, arrhythmias, extreme sedation, depression. On discontinuation: continued tachycardia/hypertension, vomiting/diarrhea, "hangover" feeling, continued sedation 24 hours after last dose. WelI, I can move my neck again--that's the only good thing I can say. Eased the spasms after 2 doses, but the side effects were intolerable. Pretty sure I was having intermittent A-fib. If I hadn't been so out of it I would've gone straight to the ER. It's a bad scene, when you need help but are too out of it to get it, both from the same drug. It's in the trash now. F 42 3 days

Subsequent days i slept 8 - 10 hours and was still exhausted. Wrists and ankles achy Skin sensitivity I will never take this again as it came with terrible side effects and did nothing for the pain.

 1  Muscle strain, nerve impingement I suffered from severe pressure and headaches in my temples, base of occipital and around eyes. My vision was blurry and I was nauseous. My diastolic pressure increased by 10-15mmHg and i had terrible anxiety. It took 5 days for symptoms to go away and diastolic pressure to decrease. I would rather deal with the pain than go through this again. F 49 4 days

 1  piriformis / sciatica For a muscle relaxant, it is extremely weak but it knocked me down into sleep for an hour and that was the extent of it. Impossible to function on this drug. The ultimate muscle relaxant and pain killer I have ever had is SOMA but doctors are completely paranoid prescribing it or do not know better, or the puppets do not care. See reviews for SOMA and be the judge. M 47 2 days

 1  muscle tension in neck & shoulders Took one 5mg pill at bedtime Sat. night for tension pain in neck and shoulders. Couldn't sleep all night - kept tossing and turning. Slept until 1pm which I never do. Extremely groggy. Felt nauseous. Laid on sofa all day. No appetite but thirsty. Felt very fatigued. I had heart palpitations and stomach cramps but no diarrhea. Went to bed Sunday at 10pm and had to take motrin for body aches all over. Felt like I had the flu but no fever. I had chills and then got very hot during sleep. Now it's Monday and still don't feel well. I will never take this again and am throwing the meds away! F 34 1 days
