I've been asking Kaiser to let me have Flexeril! However, they now say you should not take Flexeril over a certain age. Believe the age limit is 65. Leaves me out.
I took Flexeril in 1990. Had no side effects whatsoever at that time. My incredible Doctor at a comprehensive spine rehabilitation program testified for me in my worker's comp case and he pretty much raved about it. These days, it is riddled with a long list of side effects. But so is EVERY SINGLE OTHER medicine I get prescribed these days. And I had a good experience with Flexeril! Going to try what my ER recommended yesterday but I don't have much hope.
What dose of Tramadol are you taking? How is it working for you?

Hi
I actually got 50 mg today at the walk-in clinic but I'm terrified to take it because I'm on Zoloft and it says that you shouldn't take that med with Zoloft so I'm going to wait until I talk to my pharmacist on Monday to see if I should just try 25 mg. He also told me at the walk-in clinic to get Tylenol Extra strength because it goes right to the pain instantly and I could take six a day so I'm going to do that starting tomorrow until I can call the pharmacy Monday. Yeah I'm done with that cyclobenzaprine my brain is fried today I feel really weird and I'm so tired. I honestly don't know why my GP gave it to me when he took me off it a year ago.
