Well it has been exactly 1 month since I started taking Flexeril and tramadol and my doctor prescribed it for long term usage today. It's made a huge positive difference in my life. Like I described earlier, I only had one bout of crabbiness with this and some forgetfulness, but this no longer makes me drowsy during the day and my sleep is awesome like never before and my pain is very much reduced and relieved!! How ever I am worried about long term usage, I have never liked taking pills and there is medical history in my family of mental illness. So I will keep coming back tpo read everyone elses posts..good luck every one!!

I have been dealing with Total neuropathy of my feet and legs for 18 years now and i was taking neurotin 300mg 3x's a day and that was not even putting a dent in my pain. 2 weeks ago I fell in the shower on Monday and fell down my stairs Tues. ( due to not being able to feel my feet) and I sprained my whole body and was in major pain. My Doctor prescribed 10mg flexeril and 50mg of tramadol. It has been a miracle for me!! the pain is gone from my nueropathy, I haven't slept this good in many years & I am hoping that after talking with my Doctor i can continue taking this ! What a difference this has made in my life. However the second and third day I was severely grumpy but I was aware of the fact so I was able to minimize it!

I posted on July 27, but have to amend my complaint. The flexeril was definitely not effective for me, but the good news (for others taking Flexeril) is that the tingling and numbness I reported was due to the sudden withdrawal from another prescription drug, and not caused by the Flexeril.

Flexeril Chemical Information

cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride - A centrally acting muscle relaxant, chemically similar to amitriptyline hydrochloride with antidepressant activity. The exact mechanism of action of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride has not been fully determined. However, it primarily acts at the brain stem to reduce tonic somatic motor activity, influencing both gamma and alpha motor neurons. This leads to a reduction in muscle spasms.
