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 ...

I am tapering off of suboxone, can cyclobenzaprine hc tab help me with the withdrawls. ## Hello, Lucky360! How are you? Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant, so it may help with some rebound issues that could occur, such as muscle cramping, but it's not likely to do much else.

My husband had spinal surgery on Monday and has been suffering from debilitating muscle spasms. He took a 10 mg Cyclobenzaprine just over an hour ago but has just received 750 mg Methocarbamol. Is it safe to go ahead and take the new pills now? He is in agonizing pain. Hoping someone can help... ## Hi Becky, Sorry to hear about your husband's debilitating condition. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there are no interactions listed between Cyclobenzaprine and Methocarbamol. While this does not necessarily mean that no interactions exist, it is my personal opinion that they're deemed as safe to take together. Nevertheless, it's always a good idea to double check with the prescribing doctor before administering anything t...

My cousin gave me 2 of these pills bc im having unbearable back and body pain. Is it ok to take both? ## I wouldn't recommend it, especially since they have no been prescribed for you. The tablet with this marking contains 10mgs of Cyclobenzaprine, it is a muscle relaxant and, as such, it can cause depression of the central nervous system, which can result in lowered heart rate, lowered blood pressure and lowered rate of breathing. Taking more than one can potentiate these effects and may cause an overdose, putting your life in danger. Learn more: Are there any other questions or comments? ## The yellow pill in description is Cyclobenzaprine HCl (10 mg). Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant, typically prescribed to relieve pain and muscle spasms. As far as dosing goes, the administr...

If this drug cyclobenzaprine (10mg) is a muscle relaxer and the heart is a muscle, if I'm taking 1 at a time, is there any danger in harming my heart muscle? If so, what does it take to harm this muscle? ## In order for it do harm to the heart, per se, you'd have to either have a very bad reaction to it, or overdose on it, by taking too much. Otherwise, yes it is a muscle relaxant and, as such, it can cause depression of the central nervous system, which includes the heart, so it may cause your heart to slow down slightly. This is usually not significant in healthy individuals, with normal heart function. However, you should check with your doctor, to make sure it is safe for you to take it, especially if you've had any type of cardiac problem. Are there any other questions ...

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?

As to the symptoms, it may be best to consult your doctor rather than just assuming it is due to the same prob...
