Flexeril and muscle spasms

Rx for 10mg Flexeril 6/19/08 for severe muscle spasms upper back and neck. Took one tablet 6/19 2pm, one tablet 6/19 10pm. Slept well, but woke up with spasms worse than ever. Took 2 10mg tablets 6/20 7am and slept ALL day - 16 hours in a 24 hour period. This is day 5, 10 mg 3 times a day. It has greatly decreased the muscle spasms, but makes me feel spacey and out of it. Today my wiccan goddess friend asked me if I was stoned - she said my eyes looked funny and my energy "felt chaotic". I didn't tell her I was on Flexeril. Makes me wonder: do I appear more "altered" to others than I feel inside myself? That's bad, because if I have less control than I realize, I probably shouldn't be -- well, driving, for one thing. For five days I had an odd sense of well-being - today I feel agitated. My heart has been racing all day, which it hasn't done before.

I took Flexeril for a couple of days for muscle spasms in my neck and shoulder area. It was very effective at first. Then one day I went to stand up and my knees went week and I couldn't stand for a couple of moments. After 10 minutes I was fine, I called my doctor and he told me to stop taking it. I went for physical therapy and that worked very well. This was 10 years ago but I still remember the name of the drug. I don't know what caused that one reaction.

I TOO HAD THAT AGITATED FEELING AFTER TAKING THE MED FOR MUSCLE SPASMS IN MY NECK, I COULDNT SIT STILL AND HAD THE HARDEST TIME FALLING ASLEEP, I FELT JUMPY AND NEVER THE LESS MY PAIN DIDNT SUBSIDE AT ALL, SO NOT ONLY DID I HAVE SEVER NECK PAIN, BUT THE FLEXERIL MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS DAZED AND CONFUSED.

I've been taking Flexeril for almost 2 years for chronic neck and head pain, muscle spasms - which I've had for over 5 years. The flexeril has helped to decrease the amount of spasms I have in my neck. Recently, my upper body muscles have started to shrink and I have lost weight without dieting. I must find out what the long term affects are to taking this drug.
