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?

Want to know what this drug is equal to in a more familiar name. ## Cyclobenzaprine is Flexeril. ## @Thomas, No two drugs are "equal" in my opinion, because they also contain different binders and fillers, different half-lives (i.e. some lasting longer than others), different release rates (i.e. how quickly it affects you), etc.. So when you ask about an equal substitute, the best I can do is point you in the direction of different brand names of Cyclobenzaprine... Karen named 1 of them, and two others I'm aware of are Amrix and Fexmid. There are also various medications within the same drug classification as Cyclobenzaprine; known as muscle relaxers. A few drug names in this category are as follows: Methocarbamol, Carisoprodol, Metaxalone, Orphenadrine, Chlorzoxazone, and D...

Which is stronger a cyclobenzaprine 5mg or a diazepam 5mg? ## There is actually no way to compare these two drugs, because they aren't in the same drug class. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant that's used to treat muscle pain and spasms caused by cramping, sprains and strains. However, Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders, it also has the potential to be habit forming. You can learn more Cyclobenzaprine details here and you can learn more Diazepam details here. Which has your doctor prescribed for you and what are you treating? ## DIAZEPAM FOR NECK MUSCLE PAIN

I was having swelling in my throat w/ baclofen & now it seems to be happening again. I take tizanidine & cyclobenzaprine & I'm trying to figure out if either of these two are causing this? Does tizanidine have the same properties as baclofen? ## Cyclobenzaprine and Baclofen are both muscle relaxants. Thus, I must ask why you are taking both? It is not common to be prescribed two medications in the same class, at the same time. And yes, according to FDA reports, since all 3 of these medications are muscle relaxants, you may also experience such a reaction to the others. You should be very cautious and if you have severe trouble breathing, or develop hives, you should seek immediate medical attention.

I have been searching the web for info about cyclobenzaprine and thyroid disorders but have yet to find any information about this. Could someone please tell me more about this issue!! ## Hello, Dee! How are you? What specifically would you like to know? It is contraindicated if someone has Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism. The FDA classifies this medication as being a muscle relaxant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

Well its about 2am and i been up becouse My mouth well gums started hurting around 12pm all of a sudden and all I have in the house is in profen 800 mg and/or these IG 283 pill I was wondering if I could take that for the pain two get me threw the night ## Hello, Brad! 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 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?

I was prescribed Cyclobenzaprine tl 211 at first the pills are 5 mgs Manufactured by Cadista Now recently my doctor has prescribed me Cyclobenzaprine 5 mgs 1 side IG other side 282 Manufactured by Camber these pills are half the size of the tl 211 is there any ingredient missing Im suppose to be worried about in the IG 282 because the pill is smaller? ## Hello, Loretta! How are you? No, they are both listed by their respective manufacturers, Breckenridge Pharmaceutical and InvaGen Pharmaceuticals as containing 5mgs of Cyclobenzaprine. With generics, when one from a different manufacturer is smaller, it's usually because they've used different inactive fillers and is nothing to worry about. The FDA classifies this medication as a muscle relaxant and lists its typical side effects...

is flexeril like tramidol? ## NO! Not even close. Tramadol is an opiate derived anti-inflammatory, they were trying to engineer a medication that would have the pain killing benefits of a narcotic, without the side effects. It didn't work and they ended up with something that is just as addictive as regular opiates. Flexeril, which is Cyclobenzaprine, is a completely different class of medication. It is a muscle relaxant.

Is this drug a narcotic? ## Research I was able to gather does not show Cyclobenzaprine to be a narcotic. You can view a detailed description of the drug, by clicking on the link below... Hope this helps! ## It's not a narcotic. However, in my experience, it has done more to help with my pack pain than any narcotic I've tried.

My dad takes for chronic pain. Found unmarked containers in his meds want to make sure they are hydrocodone 5 MG before he takes. One is white oval tablet with 105 on it other is circular tablet with .DAN on one side and 5658 ## Hello, Deb! How is your dad? The tablet with the 105 marking is manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 7.5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. The tablet with the DAN 5658 on it is now manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Cyclobenzaprine. The FDA classifies this medication as a muscle re...

wisted my knee and I'm having severe pain and swelling. Will flexeril help ease this pain so I can sleep? ## Hello, Shoshimom! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. According to the FDA, Flexeril contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine and is classified as a muscle relaxant, so it likely won't help much. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Some cold compresses and Ibuprofen, may help, if your doctor approves. Have you contacted your doctor, yet? Any time you have swelling like that, you should have it checked out.

This is for major pain in my upper back when ibuprofen and cyclobenzaprine aren't working. I would like to add tramadol and want to know if it's safe to do so? ## Had it been prescribed for you? The FDA classifies it as a mild opiate that carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Are you on any other medications?

What class of drug is a Ciclobenzaprina 10mg tab? Are they similar to a soma? Because I prefer somas. What if there's no imprint on the tablet? The prescription was purchased in Mexico and I'm wondering if that's why there's no imprints or if they could be fake pills? ## Hello Megz, Cyclobenzaprine is a prescription only drug used as a muscle relaxer often sold under the brand name Flexeril. It is often used to treat skeletal muscle spasms and fibromyalgia. Mexico medication does not have to follow FDA regulations such as having imprints. Because they do not follow FDA regulations it is not possible to identify the manufacturer or ensure the contents of your medication. Consume them at your own risk. I will list some information on an American brand Ciclobenzaprine (10mg...

Does anybody know how long Flexeril stays in your system? I really need to know. ## It is addicting so you need to taper off if you have used it for a while. ## Flexeril... this is my first. what are the risk in taken this medication and what are the side of effect. ## Flexeril is a muscle relaxant, IT IS NOT RELATED TO VALIUM and IS NOT in the same class of drugs. The active ingredient is Cyclobenzaprine. Some of the most common side effects are: drowsiness, headache, depression and blurred vision. How long it lasts in your system really depends on the dosage you have been taking and how long you have been taking it.

I was recently prescribed 10mg Cyclobenzaprine tablets for the pain I am having in through out my right shoulder blade, collar bone and some times down the entire right arm.i haven't taken any of the prescribed medication yet because I've been told that 10mg Cyclobenzaprine is a benzo and is the same drug class as Xanax.,in which I refuse to take.I hate Xanax and all the side effects that come with them.So my question to you is,are 10mg Cyclobenzaprine equivalent to a Xanax? ## Cyclobenzapine is in no way related to Xanax. Cyclobenzapine is just a muscle relaxer while Xanax is a benzodiazepine. Cyclobenzapine, or flexeril wich is the brand name is a good muscle relaxer and is nothing like a Xanax. ## Jason is correct, it is nothing more than a muscle relaxant, and a rather mild ...
