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.

Dosage: 5 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: Flexeril definitely has a drowsy effect on me, so I'd suggest only taking it if you have time and/or are in a place you can sleep. I've only ever once resisted the drowsiness, which gave me a cloudy/slap-happy/"high" effect.
