I dont want to mix nerve pills with this pill is it safe ## Hello, Becca! How are you? What nerve medication do you take? Can you please post back and be more specific? I need to know the name of it, in order to check this information for you. The FDA lists Cyclobenzaprine as a muscle relaxant and states that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

I have taken this pill cyclobenzaprine for back muscle spasams. it says I pill by mouth three times daily as needed. The first pill helped for about 4 hrs and I took a second pill and that lasted about 3 hrs. can I take another pill now to help me sleep ## Hello, Elaine! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. No, that would be too close together and could create the risk of an overdose. According to the FDA, a 3 times a day dosing should be approximately 8 hours apart, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. Sometimes, your doctor might designate breakfast, lunch and dinner, or morning, noon and dinner time. Have you asked your doctor for more clarification? Typical side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

Cyclo/GABA/lido/capsa 10:5:5:0.025% gel. My second gel/ cream is Fl/lid/men/cam 25/5/5/1% PLO. This is a new medication for my neck. How does this medication work and what are possible side affects? ## @machilinda, I've attempted to decipher the abbreviations you mentioned for each individual cream/ointment, but am only finding details on the first one "Cyclo/GABA/lido/capsa" (which I believe translates to cyclobenzaprine + gabapentin + lidocaine + capsaicin). Is there anyway you can confirm if this is true as well as verifying the full spelled out name of the other ointment? Information I gathered on this first cream indicates that it's used topically for pain management. However, concerning possible side effects, there are honestly too many to list outside of the typic...

I have old pills Exp date 2013 are they still good can't afford to go back to te doc ## Hello, BB! How are you? These tablets contain 10mgs of Cyclobenzaprine, which is a muscle relaxant that's used to alleviate the pain associated with strains, sprains and spasms. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. They don't get dangerous, when expired, but they do begin to lose effectiveness with time, so they will no longer work as well as they did, when they were new. It would be best to just dispose of these and see your doctor for a new prescription. Is there anything else I can help with?

I found half of a white round tablet it ends with N on one side and looks like it ends with 5 (possibly) and 8 definitely on the other. Found on the floor in my home just trying to id if possible thanks! ## The closest match to that (but could be something else) is a pill that says DAN on one side and 5658 on the other side, if that sounds like it might be right? That's Cyclobenzaprine HCL 10mg. It's a non narcotic muscle relaxer typically prescribed for muscle spasms, migraines, sciatica etc. the other closest match is OTC Claritin.

Is taking 1 cyclobenzaprine expired 12\13 harmful ## Hello, Aidas! How are you? No, this medication does not turn toxic, once expired, but it does lose effectiveness, so it will not work as well as it did when new. If you still need a muscle relaxant, it would be best to dispose of the expired pills and obtain a new prescription. It's most commonly used to treat muscle spasms, sprains and strains. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

my expiration date for cyclobenzapr 10mg is 3/26/11 can I still take it. ## Hi Henry, Based on my research, the expired medication may still be safe to use but has most likely lost its potency and can no longer be nearly as effective. There are in fact, some medications that can become dangerous after they expire. That being said, it's best to not take any medication after its expiration date. If you desperately need to take the medication, I would seek the advice of a pharmacist. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Cyclobenzaprine Details I hope this helps! ## Is cyclobenzaprine safe to take after 10 mo expiration

Which is stronger a cyclobenzaprine 5mg or a diazepam 5mg? ## There is actually no way to compare these two drugs, because they aren't in the same drug class. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant that's used to treat muscle pain and spasms caused by cramping, sprains and strains. However, Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders, it also has the potential to be habit forming.

I found a vial full of unmarked yellow pills, but they're more of a pale yellow color. They're shaped like mini skittles. Upon looking online for a bit, my first impression is that they are cyclobenzaprine. However, the insides are brown. Granted I've never really cut into a lot of pills, but the brown interior is throwing me. Any ideas? ## i found a bag full a small round yellow pills.... they arent brown on the inside... i seem to have the same problem identifying them. ## Same problem wtf is this ? old s*** i think

when I stop taking the med I get weak, anxious,shaky ## Hello, Chuck! How are you? Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant and if you've been taking large amounts of it for a long time, then it would be normal to experience some minor withdrawal symptoms if you suddenly stop taking it. That can happen with any medication you take regularly for a long period of time. You may also experience the normal side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

Can a 10mg Cyclobenzaprine be cut in half? ## Yes, it can be cut in half, since it isn't a time released tablet. This is true of most medications, unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically instructs you otherwise. There are some, such as potent potassium supplements, that can cause damage to the stomach and esophagus, if they are cut in half. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Can 10 mg flexeril be broken in half if it does not have a score line ## Hi Dana, yes , u can cut them in half. I use 2 take 10 mg of Flexeril and I cut them in half. I take medication now that's not scored and I cut it in half. I use a pill cutter, it's much easier.
