Flexarol

I have been clean from vicodin for 3 weeks now, but I hurt my back while moving into a new house. One of my relatives gave me a few flexarol but I have not taken them. Is it ok for me to take flexeral or is that an opiate like vicodin? I don't want to take something that is going to remind me of vicodin.

I'm on day 6 from withdrawal and had a terrible headache so I took Aleve. I always led myself to believe it would never work so I took hydros/oxys, but my headache actually went away on Aleve...I'm a believer now.

I certainly cant tell you to take flexeril. I will say that I have been taking cyclobenzoprine (flexeril) off and on as needed for a bunch of years. Its never a good idea to use someone elses meds. There are no contraindications for flexeril with hydro - but they are not in the same class. There is nothing opiate in a flexeril.

Flexeril is a muscle relaxant.  Sweetie, I would ask your doctor about something like that before taking anything.  You never know if you will have a reaction to a medication and if it was not prescribed to you and you received it from someone else that person could potentially be in trouble with the law.  I do not believe Flexeril is addictive.  But, please call your doctor instead.  

That's just my two cents!  

WTG for being clean from vicodin for 3 weeks!!! AWESOME!!!  Keep staying strong hun!!!!

You know, Ibuprofen or naproxin works great too and you can get them over the counter.  Good luck!!!
