Cycloben/back Pain
UpdatedHi! My doctor told me not to take cyclobenzapr 10 mg on a night before I went to work as it would make me tired. Then when I get the prescription it says take 3 times a day. I took it one night and was tired pretty much all day the next day after sleeping for about 12 hours (which is something I very rarely do)!! I'm not sure if this was the reason I was tired all day.. It could have been a combination of a cold, stress, back pain, and the meds.. I'm also taking meloxicam once a day which could make me tired also.. I guess I'm wandering if I can take it three times a day? I'm a little scared I'll be too tired to do anything!! I'm also wandering if there's more of a problem.. My dr says it's tight muscles due to spasms and there's nothing I can do except exercise.. He didn't prescribe an mri or more physical therapy or anything.. Yet this has been an ongoing problem that doesn't get better for four years now.. Idk what to do???

Hello, Bam! How are you?
Yes, the Cyclobenzaprine could cause the tiredness and is far more prone to do so than the Meloxicam. As listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, dry mouth and dizziness.
Taking 3 a day would worsen that, which is most likely why your doctor told you not to do so, when you have to work.
Three a day is a commonly prescribed dosage, but if you decided to try it, then you may want to do it, when you aren't working, to see how it affects you.
What type of doctor did you consult?
