I've been taking Flexeril daily for several years. I always take one before bed and only take the other two allowed during the day if my fibro and TMJ pain is really bad. It has helped curb my flareups, allows me to get the sleep I need, and is wonderful!

I was feeling like I lost my mind. I was extreamly forgetful. I felt like I had early onset Altheimers. By the end of the very first week, I was scaring my friend, who is a medical assistent, as she has known me for quite a while and had never heard me repeat things like I was doing, My grand father had altheimers and I was so frightened that is where I was headed at such an early age.

with fibromyalgia, I use it to get deep sleep. It works very well. I have had to increase my dose from 10mg to 20mg over a ten year period.

I had migranes before taking Flexeril. I tried all the medications available for migranes and did not get relief. Dr. Jody Neer prescribed Flexril for me and the next day I was a new person. This is the miracle drug for me!

I take this medication in addition to Ultram and Ibuprofen to cope with muscle spasms.I get this from a pinched sciatic nerve due to degenerative disc disease. It helps me deal with it but I still ache. My side effects include dizziness and weakness, extreme dry mouth and difficulty swallowing.

20mg of this drug for me is too strong for me I have to cut in half. when I take a whole 2mg it makes my muscles seem real stiff.

I can only use it at bedtime as it puts me to sleep. I need 8 to 9 hours to sleep through it.

I was taking one pill two times a day. For maybe the first four days the pills worked magnificently. After that, there was definitely a sudden change. Flexeril did not hit me at all. Also, the Flexeril was giving me very bad dreams. I stopped taking them within a week.

My dr suggested that I only take 5mg per night which is perfect. Taking this dose does not give me a hung over feeling in the morning and I get a good nights rest which makes a huge difference in my muscle spasms the next day.

It was a relief to be able to have available to me a medication to ease chronic pain. Flexeril did not make me drowsy, interfere with any other medications I may take, and truthfully eased my discomfort, enabling me to again focus on finding the root of my medical issues and of course in much better shape to enjoy and care for my family and perform well in my line of work.

I have extreme muscle spasms, and this medicine didn't relieve it at all. It also made me very drowsy and blah feeling. It made it difficult to take care of my little ones. If you have kids, I would suggest you find something else to take. It made it hard for me get up and do anything.

I have SM (syrinx in the spinal cord). Got a lot of symptoms including severe chronic pain, and severe muscle spasms. Flexeril helps with both the pain and the muscle spasms along w/ my other medications

I have fibromyalgia and have tried nearly every drug we can think of. The doctor suggested this medicine and after I started taking it, I have slept all the way through the night for the first time in years.
