Flexeril and sleep

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 also felt the "hangover" effect as mentioned by the others. Headache, foggy thick, I call it "doughy brain", agitation. I have a connective tissue disease, FMS following trauma from 06 auto accident plus chronic neck and back pain so the pros outweigh the cons. I take a Vicodin 750mg Flexeril and Serax cocktail at night before bed...and sometimes sleep...sucks.

I have taken 1/2 during the day and 1 whole at night. It helps me sleep really good, but during the day I feel extremely nervous. I've only been taking it about 1wk. It doesn't make me feel nervous at night before sleeping. That seems strange to me. I won't be getting a refill, not even sure that I'll finish what I have.
