What dosage was prescribed? Mine has been 10 mg consistently. I take one along with other prescribed meds (for other medical issues) and supplements.

How long have you been taking Cyclobenzaprine? Do you take it throughout the day? I take 5-10mg, 2-3 nights a week when I'm having a flare, only if the pain is bad enough at night to interfere with sleep. I haven't tried taking it during the day, but some days I really need something to curb the pain. My PC Dr is reluctant to keep prescribing this for me, so I'm going to see a new Dr soon and hoping she will prescribe this for me as needed. I think Drs today are afraid to prescribe the pain meds we need. Most of them do not understand Fibromyalgia and have no concept of how much pain it causes.
