5 | back pain | Relaxation and less difficulty sleeping | If you have anxiety and the melatonin,ambien,morphine,Ibuprofen and amytriptyline don’t work, this might be your ticket to good sleep. | M | 46 | 5 months 20mg | 6/5/2016 | 5 | muscle pain, locking up, back pain | Coughing, build up of mucuces | F | 64 | 2 weeks | 5/24/2016 | 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 | 3 | Back pain | Sleepiness, dry mouth and throat. | Only taking as needed. I can finally sleep at night without waking up constantly from back pain. I take it at night, not sure if my back feels better during the day though. Just today I noticed major cotton mouth. | F | 30 | 5 days 10mg | 2/28/2016 | 2 | Back spasms | This is a k/o pill for 24 hrs. If you have not used it for a long time it's not as potent the first time, but after you have been using any amount of flexeril and or ibuprofen recently it seems to amplify the effect. I.e. it will make you very uncapable aside from eating or sleeping. | M | 34 | 1 days 1 pill | 2/11/2016 | 5 | Arthritis degenerative disk disease | I have not experienced any side effects. Flexeril is not that strong. You should also eat something when taking it and make sure that it doesn't interfere with other medications that you are taking. | F | 42 | 1 months 15 mg | 1/25/2016 | 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 | 2 | Strained back muscles | Total nausea and sleepiness. It did start to help with pain, but the sleepiness and fogginess was bad, so I stopped. | It was food allergens I reintroduced that started these back pains! I've had back pains, but they've never been so bad as recently. I also had depression with the food allergies. All that went away, including the back pains, 3 days after I stopped eating the foods I was allergic too. Now I don't need Flexeril. | M | 30 | 1 days 10 1X day | 1/1/2016 | 3 | Sprained Back | Severe nausea,Dizziness,vertigo, and many more | The first two days went ok but third day was horrid couldn't watch TV without feeling like I was going to possibly have a seizer nausea was unbareable even after eating it relaxed my muscles but I had the spins and had the feeling like I was on a boat | F | 22 | 3 days 10mg | 12/28/2015 | 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 | 5 | very bad back pain. | I take Flexeril with Tylenol w/Codine. 1 tablet each. Around 8pm and wake up with no back pain. (I only take it when my back is out). And it works great. | F | 57 | 2 days 10mg | 12/3/2015 | 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 | 4 | Muscle spasms in back | Sleepy. Slurred speech | Relieves the pain of muscle spasms. | F | 86 | 3 days | 10/29/2015 |
