 3  lower back pain I took 10 mg flexeril before going to bed. The next morning my back felt better, but I was spacey, disoriented, and experienced abdominal cramping. These effects did not wear off until the following morning, that is about 36 hours after the initial dose. Is effective but the side effects were horrendous. M 55 1 days

 3  muscle spasm in back emotional and physical depression The only thing that actually relieves the muscle spasms (other than complete bedrest for about a month) - but the pain has to be bad enough for me to be willing to tolerate 1-2 wks physical and emotional depression. Took medication off and on for a few years - I don't recall how long for any particular F 48

 3  Muscle spasms in my neck Severe depression, anxiety, depersonalization, vivid nightmares, extreme dry mouth/exhaustion Made my neck feel all nice and Jello-like, which was great, but this medication left me dragging half-way through the next day. After a night's worth of realistic nightmares, I awoke feeling more depressed than I had in a long time. I had several anxiety attacks, and never left my room that day. I suffer from depersonalization normally, but on Flexeril, it was much worse. I decided to try it again for one more night, hoping it was just a fluke, but the same thing happened. Worst weekend ever! F 23 2 days

 3  back spasms dry mouth, irregular heartbeat this drug works pretty well for back spasms or soreness. I didn't like the irregular heart action so I discontinued after 2 months usage. I use methocarbamol and avoid any cardiac irregularities. I prefer diazepam but my doc treats that stuff like I was asking for heroin. Sad thing that all the really good meds that work the best without ill side affects are treated as street drugs are. Blatent dig at our government here..>tobacco and alcohol kill more people every year than all other drugs combined together...hint hint. M 37 2 months

 4  Fibromyalgia(Chronic Muscle Pain) Extreme dry mouth, but seemed to get better while I took the drug longer, constipation. I was told to take flexeril at night, to help me sleep and for my mucsle pain. It did help me sleep better and was able to wake up for work feeling fine. It helped a little with the pain I suffer from but never made it go completely away. I was taking a 10mg dose and found if I was in alot of pain to take one and a half tablets. Never felt droggy in the morning. F 22 1 months
