Cyclobenzaprine Vs Carisoprodol

Updated

Generally prescribed in place of Carisoprodol (AZ 266 - round white pill, 3/8 diameter) because of its lower dose and other reasons; used mainly as a muscle relaxer, pain control and tranquilizer. AZ 266 can become addictive, while Cyclobenzaprine not so much. Look up either AZ 266 or Carisoprodol or Soma.

That is correct, Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant, and is the active ingredient in Soma. It has been known to be abused, and to cause addiction in some people that take it.

The typical side effects of this medication may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, somnolence, and depressed mood, according to FDA reports.

Rashidah, no, Cyclobenzaprine is another type of muscle relaxant that is used to help ease the pain, and spasms associated with muscle injuries.

It is not known to be habit forming.

The Benzodiazepine family of medication includes Xanax (Alprazolam), Valium (Diazepam), Klonopin (Clonazepam), and several others.

They are most commonly used to treat anxiety, and nervous disorders, as well as severe cases of insomnia.

The FDA warns that this class of medication does carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, irritability, and mood changes.
