Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 , Does this make you majorly sleepy? Do you wake up feeling drugged the next morning? I have been given a script by my doc for this for muscle spasms in my back, but haven't gotten the script filled because I have to function and can't have the drug hangover in the AM. Does it make you feel that way? Thanks in advance, W >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My dr. gave me flexeril. Lang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 Just wanted to let you know that you cannot take Flexeril if you have Glaucoma or are on antidepressants, this is what I was told by a doctor as I have Glaucoma.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 Thanks girlfriend, I'm not on an antidepressant now, got off of it in Dec. Still hurts like hell, but ................. Great info for everyone to know though. I'm so glad you are enjoying your trailer at the lake Sandy. If anyone deserves it, you do!!! Now, I'll say goodnight to all. I can relate to the not sleeping good. I go sound asleep at first, then I'm up 4 and 5 times a night after that and I'm not on Pred. anymore......go figure!!!! LOL W >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Just wanted to let you know that you cannot take Flexeril if you have Glaucoma or are on antidepressants, this is what I was told by a doctor as I have Glaucoma.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 I do not feel drugged from the flexeril at all. Take it at night and start on a lower dose and on the weekend. that should tell you. My dr. did not say anything about glaucoma or antidepressants. Maybe you could ask your Dr. about that. I feel much better on Flexeril and am not more tired in AM. good luck. Let me know.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 Thanks , Maybe I will get it filled. My PCP did say I could cut it in half and try that first to see how I did on it. So I think I will. Thanks again for the info. I appreciate it. W >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I do not feel drugged from the flexeril at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the leg cramps, I take Magnesium every day (mine were just horrible!). back spasms, I still get them often, like everytime I get into the car I have to wait till it passes before I can raise my foot to the gas pedal. The thing that troubles me, though, is the sudden dizziness and the room turning upside down. (verrtigo) It could be something to do with your inner ear, check it out. Vertigo can also be caused by an ear infection, or a sinus infection. I've been there and definitely do not want to do that again! Get it checked out!
