I will be taking cyclobenzaprine is it addictive and what can i expect?
Answers: No.
Cyclobenzaprine, a drug and skeletal muscle relaxant used to treat pain from muscle spasm. It is market under the christen Flexeril. It is a safe and non-habit forming product that have been widely available for over twenty years lacking problems of addiction or other serious side effects apart from drowsiness, and rarely, allergy.
Although it can relieve the stomach-ache of muscle spasm, it is not considered a pain slayer (analgesic) like the drug that you mention, Vicodin, because it doesn't relieve any other benign of pain, and it merely relieves muscle pain because it relieves muscle spasm. Thus, it is an antispasmodic.
Nor is cyclobenzaprine a controlled or programmed (listed by the Drug Enforcement Agency as a habit-forming drug). It can be sedating, however - more so if mixed with alcohol or other sedative.
