I was recently prescribed Flexeril 5mg Tablets for muscle spasms due to an injury. I've been taking them for a week now, and while they've helped with the pain, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. Has anyone else taken this medication and experienced any serious issues? I've read about serotonin syndrome and some other urgent side effects in the warning section of the pamphlet, which I don't want to experience!! I feel like a lot of side effects are listed, but I don't know how likely it is to experience them. I am also unsure about what other medications should be avoided. I would appreciate any advice or personal experiences shared by anyone who has taken Flexeril in the past. Could anyone also elaborate on what they did to manage the dizziness or drowsiness? I'm considering talking to my doctor about it, but I'd like to have some more information beforehand. Thanks!
