In reply to Is flexeril addictive?, posted by Mandy on December 11, 2006, at 11:40:23
> I have always had awful insomnia. Recently my doc put me on flexeril for muscle spasms. Instead of taking throughout the day, I took 3 at night and slept great. Question is can I become addicted and start needing more and more? i am bipolar and on lamictal,wellbutrin,lexapro and klonopin at night(but the klonopin does nothing for sleep). Thanks
>Hi....no, I don't think this med is. It is actually a tricyclic med, similar to antidepressants like Amitriptyline, Clomipramine, Nortriptyline, etc. So I have never heard of any addiction problems with Flexeril. Sometimes Amitriptyline is used for pain as well. Jay
