Hi, I just recently knocked my back out, putting baked beans into the oven, had terrible back spasms so I took Flexeril that was two years out of date, it worked like a charm. Doing much better now.

My question relates to U/A's and the presence of flexeril, not expiration and efficacy. I have read that it registers as TCA and I believe this, however there are many out there who seem to think it will come up as other substances as well. What is the truest answer?

Not totally true. I took a muscle relaxer that was purchased 9 years ago. Was no where near as affective as it once was. So they do lose power over time.

Hi i do take flexeril, but i had to take the 5 mg istead of 10mg because it made me too sleepy. It tends to do this until you get used to them.

All antibiotics? You know some like doxycycline become toxic after expiration.

Re: Verwon (# 1)
Not sure I'm asking this the correct way, but here goes: What is the shelf life of Flexeril? Once it is dispensed by a pharmacist, that is. Thank you.

I have some 7 yr old Flexeril I started taking because I grind my teeth when I sleep, and clench my teeth/jaw when I’m awake. I’t’s not a narcotic, it’s a muscle relaxant. What was that old muscle relaxer? Soma? They moved that to scheduled narcotics.

Makes you tired first day or so, then you get used to it.

That was very true for me when I was younger & on no other maintenance drugs. Not so sure now. Need to break down & use it tho so I guess I’ll find out.

Side effects from drugs can be caused or not caused by so many factors of what else u r putting in ur body or how run down u r. Age plays a factor as well…..just sayin food for thought

I have taken new Flexeril twice today and don't feel any effect (10mg). In 1999 I got some from Kaiser and the very first one just about knocked me out in the middle of the day. I used a few until my back healed up. I still have them (pack rat syndrome). I'm going to take one of the old ones in the morning to compare the effects. While the two I took today didn't knock me out, my back does feel more stable. We'll see how well I sleep and how my back feels when I awaken.

The US military turns them into their medical section for disposal. The military does not keep or extend any medicine and that includes Motrin.
