my heart rate runs in the 40's, however it has been recorded as low as 38....and i'm not an athlete, just a regular 21 year old guy, decent shape(physically). My doc just prescribed Flexeril for some muscle spasms I recently had in my lower back. Being a muscle relaxer im afraid to take them, I don't want to fall asleep and not wake up! ## Yeah, that's hard to say, since it can cause depression of the central nervous system, so there is a chance that it could cause it to drop even lower, according to the FDA. Have they done any tests to see why your heart rate is so low? Is your blood pressure usually normal? Are you on any other medications? Do you exercise regularly? Do you take any supplements?

I take Percocet and Flexeril and was told by the doctor to wait a couple of hours before I take one or the other. What are the possible side effects, positive and negative? ## More than likely he advise to space them apart because they can both cause central nervous system depression. This can cause your breathing to slow and be shallower, a slower heart rate and etc. Using them both together can also worsen some other side effects, that they both can cause, such as drowsiness, dizziness and nausea. He is probably trying to minimize this for you. If you use them as he instructed you to, you may be able to get better pain control. Many doctors prescribe a muscle relaxant, like Flexeril, along with other pain management medications. Reducing the tenseness in the muscles can help lessen th...

cyclobenzaprine ## Can't wait to receive your daily Newsletter. ## For more information about this drug please see the page: Flexeril ## Be careful with Flexeril. If you are on anti-depressents, ask your doctor. I am on anti-depressents and cannot take Flexeril. Robaxin is better by far.

I just took 15 pills of Cyclobenzaprine of 10mg for pain. It's a yellow pill with the letter V on one side and 2632 on the other side. And im also taking bupropion 2x a day. Is this dangerous (?) cause I'm getting scared now. ## Hello, Rose! How are you? Did you suffer any adverse effects? Why did you take so many? This is a muscle relaxant, not an actual analgesic, but taking that many could still be dangerous, because it can cause depression of the central nervous system. And I'd like to add a note for anyone else that reads this in the future, if you have reason to suspect that your life or the life of someone else may be in danger, please call poison control or be send at your nearest emergency treatment facility. While there are those of us online that are always happy ...

i was wondering what the fatal dose of flexeril was.... ## Flexeril contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine and the maximum daily dosage is 60mgs, split into 3 equal doses. However, what is fatal and causes an overdosage can vary from person to person, depending on their overall health and tolerance to the medication. But, if you stay at the prescribed dosage, you should be fine. Are there any questions or comments? ## be careful. i took 130mg of flexeril and blacked out for 12 hours. during this time i apparently drove to meet a friend for lunch - luckily my friend, initially thinking i was drunk, drove me home and stayed overnight with me. ## My friend took 4 flexaral will she be ok 10mg ## Hi Daisy, I was reading Your post was 1- 30mg tablet of flexeril and and was out for 12 ...

round yellow tablet with TL 177 ## I was given Topamax 100 m.g. to add to my PTSD cocktail of meds--I was still having terror nightmares and anxiety. It seemed to help as I recall 8 yrs later. After about 2-3 weeks, one day I started seeing silvery flashes at my eye perimeters when I blinked. The next day, every time I blinked, and sometimes when I didn't, I saw huge silvery flashes and was really worried..brain tumor??? Anyway, because the symptom was in the eyes, I got an emergency appointment with an opthalmologist (MD). He said my eyes were fine and asked about what medications I had recently added to the ones I used for depression and anxiety. Bingo! When I said Topamax, he jumped immediately and said, Oh, that's it! I've found about 20% using Topamax have acute symptom...

I am taking suboxone for chronic pain but having severe muscle spasms. I am thinking about asking my pain doc for Soma. I have tried Flexeril and Zanaflex and got no relief. ## No, you should not take these medications together, Major drug interaction. It may result in central nervous system depression which can lead to serious side effects such as respiratory distress, coma, and even death. [1] ## Yes. Soma is a medication that is taken short term, 2 to 3 weeks. If prescribed, take only as directed, increasing the dosage can cause complications, up to and including, death. Soma actually becomes Meprobamate in our bodies, which is a barbiturate. If you and your doctor feel you will take Soma as prescribed, it shouldn't be a problem for treating severe muscle strains over a short per...

Does flexiril interact well with requip? ## There are no serious interactions listed, however, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure. The only thing that is warned about is that they can both cause CND depression and respiratory depression, so when used at the same time, you should watch for problematic signs, such as trouble breathing, slowed pulse, sedation and slowed heart rate. Do you have any other questions?

Can 370 mg of this medication kill someone? ## From what I've read, the recommended dose of Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) is 5 to 10mgs three times daily; which would amount to 15 or 30 mgs total. I'm not sure why anyone in their right frame of mind would consider taking anything more than that, but 370mg is just ridiculous and careless in my opinion. Do you know if this person is even still alive right now or are you simply speaking hypothetically? In case of any overdose, you should probably be prepared to call your local poison control center or emergency hotline first and foremost. Waiting for a possible response on a forum may not be the best idea if the person you know really is dying from this overdose. I hope this helps!

Is there a xanax and flexeril pill all in one ## No, there is nothing that contains both active ingredients in one medication that's available in the U.S. That type of combination is one that the FDA generally finds very questionable, due to the possible risks of taking both and they usually will not approve them.

i have chronic back pain however try not to take medication unless i have to. i have left over flexeril 5mg from a prescription written in dec. 2009 and expires 2010. is it safe to take for muscles spasms or should i toss it. i like to keep some in my cabinet because the few times my back gets really bad i am unable to get out of bed. ## Flexeril contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine, which is a muscle relaxant and you should contact your doctor for a new prescription, because it does lose efficacy past the expiration date, so it may not work as well as it did, when it was new. This creates the danger of overdose, by taking more, to get the relief you need. Almost all medications have a limited shelf life and will start to lose efficacy past that date. Are there any other quest...

Hi, I started taking Belviq but I have two slipped discs that cause severe muscle spasms and pain. I usually take a flexeril and it helps. I don't see it anywhere but so many drug interactions I'm scared to take it. ## There is nothing in the label to suggest that it should be a problem. You might take the first flexeril overnight or over the weekend if you are worried and can judge any issues while at home. ## Hello, Sxmack! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Belviq as possibly including nausea, dizziness, bladder pain, anxiety and ear congestion. Is there anything else I can help with?

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I just read on google not to take Flexaril and plavix too many dangerous side effects!
