Advice & Tips
This provided good pain relief for me with my muscle pain. I used it on a PRN basis only, and only when I really needed it. It did make me drowsy, but it was worth it to me, for the pain relief. Liked this med, but doctor wouldn't prescribe for me any more, possibly due to being on Cymbalta and having elevated liver enzymes temporarily.

Advice & Tips
Works fantastic. Side effects are unavoidable naptime. Combined with a vicodin and tramadol, will kill just about any muscle pain I have, and will also induce a mandatory nap.
It worked GREAT! I love the relief from pain however I become totally dysfunctional, I will be out for about 18 hours when I take this. So when my pain is so severe I am in a very dark place I will take a half of one to knock myself out to keep my self safe. Pain relief but a the trade off is vertical time.

it works for me I have no muscle spasms. I am sure sooner or later my body will reject this medicine but for years it has worked so I won't stop taking it.

Advice & Tips
I take it 3 times/day on a schedule with my Lyrica. I haven't had any issue with the Flexeril. Mild Drowsiness is the worst side effect and even that is mild.
