Lo Cyclobenz

I suffer from panic attacks and was givin this med for a muscle relaxant. The only problem is I worry because right before I fall asleep I get drowning sensations and I am worried that I'm not going to wake up if I were to pass out. ## Hello, Paul! How are you? What do you mean by a drowning sensation? Do you stop breathing? Do you feel like you're choking? Why were you given this for panic attacks? It won't do anything to help with them. How long before bed do you take it?

show me a picture please ## you never showed me the piture i asked to see. ## Cyclobenzaprine is a generic muscle relaxant, so it manufactured by several different companies, and each tablet may look different, depending on the manufacturer and dosage. What are the markings on the tablet in question? That would enable me to find more precise information for you. Can you please post back and clarify? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache.

My husband has a prescription for cyclobenzaprine from 2013 and is haveing an awful muscle spasm can he take one from his old prescription even though it is 2 years old? ## It doesn't become dangerous, once expired, but it does start to lose efficacy, so it most likely won't work as well as it did, when new. He should double check with his doctor, before taking it. The FDA classifies this medication as a muscle relaxant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Doc has me on Cyclobenzaprine HCl (10 mg). 1 every 8 hrs as needed for back pain. These are very effective for the pain but make me VERY sleepy. I have read positive reviews on Soma. Does Soma have the same drowsy effect or can they be taken during the daytime ## Both Clyclobenzaprine and Soma, which contains Carisoprodol, are muscle relaxants and can cause drowsiness as a side effect. How long have you been taking it? Most side effects usually hit their peak around 4 to 6 weeks of use, once the medication reaches its full effectiveness in the body, and they will taper off in severity, after that. However, if you have been taking it longer than that and are still having such severe problems with the drowsiness, then you should definitely discuss it with your doctor. Is there anything el...

How long does the effect of one Pms Cyclobenzaprine 10mg last???? When is the best time to take it EX: morning 11 am after noon 3pm or night 10pm????? ## Cyclobenzaprine is muscle relaxant and, as such, it may cause dizziness and drowsiness as side effects, so it may be easier to take it at night, to avoid it disrupting daytime activities. But it should be taken when you were directed to in the prescribing instructions. The half-life is about 18 hours or so, that's when it hits 50% of the amount taken in your body, so one may last most of the day, depending on how severe your muscle spasms are. How many have you been directed to take daily? There is an extended release version available in some countries that lasts longer and is taken once daily. You can learn more Cyclobenzaprine d...

I have a prescription that was prescribed to me on 8/21/12 for muscle spasms and pain. However, more recently, I have been experiencing the exact same symptoms as before. Is it safe to still take this prescription if there are still some left? ## Hello, Debbie! How are you? According to Rising Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of Cyclobenzaprine, the expected shelf-life of the drug is 24 months (2 years). After that, they tend to lose efficacy. Reference: NOTE: For maximizing the shelf-life, the product description depicted on Rising Pharmaceuticals website as well as on DailyMed suggest that the recommended storage temperature is 20-25 degree celsius (68-77 degrees fahrenheit). As to the symptoms, it may be best to consult your doctor rather than just assuming it is due to the same prob...

my expiration date for cyclobenzapr 10mg is 3/26/11 can I still take it. ## Hi Henry, Based on my research, the expired medication may still be safe to use but has most likely lost its potency and can no longer be nearly as effective. There are in fact, some medications that can become dangerous after they expire. That being said, it's best to not take any medication after its expiration date. If you desperately need to take the medication, I would seek the advice of a pharmacist. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Cyclobenzaprine Details I hope this helps! ## Is cyclobenzaprine safe to take after 10 mo expiration

I am on this medication, taking 5 mg once a day at bedtime. I feel tired all the time and have very little energy. Should I call and talk to my dr? ## Hello, Mama b! How are you? How long have you been taking it? Those are common side effects, as listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness and dry mouth, but most side effects are transient and will wear off as your body gets used to the medication. This could take about 4 to 6 weeks. Is this the only medication you're taking? ## Hi, I'm still tired! I have been on it for 2 weeks.

My insurance company informed me that they will no longer cover prescription for Cyclobenzapr for patience over 65. Because of the problems seniors develop from this drug. My doctor did not know what they meant and said I could just pay for it and still get it. $4.00 at Walmart so I will continue but is the insurance co. correct or lying, is it dangerous for seniors, if so in what way? Very concerned! ## Hello, The concerns that your insurance company expressed may actually be valid. Based on my research, the FDA states that the use of Flexeril (Cyclobenzaprine) In the elderly may increase the frequency and severity of adverse events associated with or without concomitant medications and should be initiated with a 5 mg dose- then titrated slowly upward. That is the most pertinent inform...

what is the shelf life of cyclobenzapine 5 mg? ## Hi cindirs, According to Rising Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of Cyclobenzaprine, the expected shelf-life of the drug is 24 months (2 years). Reference: However, there's actually a lot of conflicting information around the topic of expired medication/shelf-life of a drug. According to a Harvard Medical School family health article, except in rare cases (i.e. tetracycline), there is little chance of danger due to taking medications even up to 15 years beyond their expiration date. This conclusion was based upon a study conducted at the request of the US military due to stockpiles of expensive drugs they could otherwise need to replace every few years. The conclusion was that 90% of those drugs remained effective 10 - 15 years after...

My 80 lb dog ate 1 cyclobenzaprine 10mg about 20 minutes ago. ## Have you consulted your veterinarian? Unfortunately, our information and my own knowledge is only relevant to the use of medications and their affects on humans, we really don't have a lot of details regarding them and animals. The metabolism and reactions can be completely different. Did he show any type of reaction, such as nausea, shallow breathing, extreme drowsiness?
