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...

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...

I have a bottle of Cyclobenzaprine HCL 5 mg, but it expired on 12/5/2015. With today's date being 11/28/2016, is it ok if I use some of that prescription until I get my new one refilled? ## Hello, Tina! This medication does not become dangerous, once expired, but it may not work as well as it did, when new. However, according to Rising Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of Cyclobenzaprine, the "expected" shelf-life of the drug is 24 months (2 years); so you're well within that time frame based on the date range you provided.

Hi there ,I am going for a Ultra Sound guided Breast Core Needle Biopsy tomorrow after noon. The doctor had prescribed me 2 tablets of Ativan at .5 mg each. I had taken two before, and nothing happened. There was no drowsiness, nothing. I am extremely terrified about tomorrow, and need something for pain and anxiety. Would it be safe to take the 2 tabs (1 mg) of Ativan before bed, and the cyclo at 10mg right before the procedure? ## I wouldn't change what you are taking before the procedure, without checking with your doctor. Some medications may not be safe to have in your system, along with any medications they may use, such as anesthetics. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

I take cyclobenzaprine every night for my back. Mine have always been mustard color with an M on one side and 751 on the other. The last one I had filled and started to take today is peach in color with 1G on one side and 283 on the other. I have not been able to find a picture of them or the # either. ## Hello, Jean! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by InvaGen Pharmaceuticals and they do list them as containing 10mgs of Cyclobenzaprine. That may be why you had trouble finding them, the marking is actually ig 283, with capital letters, so that's not a 1. 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 was perscribed 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine, it wasnt working well so,i have ne...

Are these pills similar/same: cyclobenzapr 5 mg, (blue) and cyclobenzaprine 5mg (orange) but smaller: generic for Flexeril? ## If the active ingredient in both is 5mgs of Cyclobenzaprine, then they should both be the same. What are the markings on the tablets? This muscle relaxant may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and headache. Learn more: ## one is a blue round with M and 771 in each side. The other was orange, smaller in size (was taken/finished weeks ago) Thank you! ## My 14 yr old child brought 1 to me and said she liked it. I asked where she got it.... Daddy gave it to her bcuz she had her braces tightened and was in pain!!! What is it and am I overreacting?

Since I am taking cyclobenzaprine how often is three times a day? They are 10 MG tablets ## Hello, Kristina! How are you? Are you supposed to take them up to 3 times a day, as needed, or did your doctor direct to take them regularly? Generally, they should be taken about 8 hours apart. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

How are you? Actually, you'd be better of with the Ibuprofen if your doctor approves of you taking it, since it is classified by the FDA as an NSAID that is used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Cyclobenzaprine, however, is a muscle relaxant, not an analgesic, so it won't do anything to help with a toothache. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything e...

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.

WHAT IS THE REAL NAME OF THESE TWO MEDS...I AM ON BOTH.ONE IS FLEXIRIL(CYCLOBENZAPR), WAHT IS OTHER ONE? ## Hi Figgy, They are the same! Just different manufacturers. ## Hi Figgy, Just wanted to provide you with a second opinion and some additional information on comparing the two tablets... Karen is correct. Flexeril is quite simply another brand name for Cyclobenzaprine. Much in the same way an orange is also referred to as a citrus fruit, generic medications such as Cyclobenzaprine also have other names they go by when the same drug is being manufactured by one or more companies who can't copy the same name for legal reasons and therefore have to come up with new names for marketing purposes. However, it should be noted that some manufacturers produce a generic drug as well as a ...

How are you? Sorry about the confusion your pharmacy has created. There is no difference, someone just has a typo on there that added an extra a to the abbreviation on your prescription label.

2 days ago I took Nabumetone 750mg (one capsule). If I start taking Cyclobenzaprine 5 mg, will this be safe? ## I didn't find any problems, or interactions listed, I would think the risk would be very low after taking them 2 days apart, but it is always best to double check such information to be safe. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Cyclobenzaprine as possibly including nausea, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and sedation. Are you on any other medications?

I am prescribed cyclobenzaprine 10 mg for muscle spasms. I recently strained my rhomboid muscle and went to the ER and they prescribed methocarbamol 500 mg. Can they be taken together? ## These are both muscle relaxants, so it is usually best to stick with just taking one, to avoid the possibility of overdose. The FDA warns that taking too much of this class of medications could result in nausea, dizziness, severe drowsiness, shallow breathing, and possibly respiratory failure, which may be fatal. How are you doing? Are you on any other medications?
