What can anyone tell me about flexerfal?

Do you mean Flexaril? It's a muscle relaxer. Many people love it, but it caused me to sweat so much I walked around with my clothes soaked.

I use Flexaril every other night combined with Gabapentin. I am a little sleepy when I wake up but it doesn't last long. I have no other side effects and it helps with muscle cramps and insomnia.

There have been a series of trials of continuous-release flexeril ("cyclobenzaprine") for fibro patients. I have completely forgotten to check and see if they finished and got FDA approval. That would be better than the knock-down....that "I-gotta-sleep-now" feeling I got from it. But then they'll have new patent on a so-called new medication formula, and the price will get jacked up. Which is too bad. It will be a nice aid for sleep in fibro patients. Well fingers crossed they price it reasonably. It could happen and there would be a lot of happy patients.

I take flexeril at night to help with my pain. It helps alleviate the pain so that I can sleep. I don't use it during the day.

Fexeril did not work well for my pain but did help ease tense muscles. I took it at night , fell asleep but woke up in the middle of night. After taking nightly , it eventually caused constipation.

I have alot of nerve pain so that might be why it didnt help with my pain.
