Hmmmm.....A few always worked for me. Just a stab in the dark,
but maybe you need to take them over and over before they begin to work
(think allergy medication).
Flexeril is cyclobenzoprene (sp?), correct?
Flexeril is Cyclobenzaprine, an Un-Scheduled muscle relaxant.
SWIM recently pulled his trapezius muscle and was prescribed 10mg tablets of cyclobenzaprine. His doctor warned him about combining the medication with clonazepam as he has been prescribed clonazepam for a while now. Conveniently enough there is a pharmacy in his University's health service and he was able to fill the prescription before he left. He had taken 2mg of clonazepam earlier in the day (maybe 2 hours prior) which constitutes nothing more than a therapeutic dose for him so he figured the cyclobenzaprine wouldn't be that intense in combination. He took 20mg before he left health service and drove home (about 5 minutes away) no problem. From the time he took the medication to the time he pulled up on his driveway at least 20 minutes had elapsed, but not much more. He got out of the car feeling fine and began walking down his driveway only to realize his balance was severely impaired. He fell flat on his face and, ironically, ended up injuring his knee worse, pain-wise, than his neck. SWIM didn't suffer any serious damage to his knee, just a lot of scrapes and blood, so he cleaned it and the pain was gone pretty quickly.
After this he sat in his room listening to music and realizing how intense the synergy between clonazepam and cyclobenzaprine had become. He experienced medium intensity closed eye visuals, a euphoria from relaxation, and enjoyed music more than normally. The combination eventually caught up with SWIM and made him extremely tired so he had to take a 3-4 hour nap. He woke up pretty much sober and without a problem.
SWIM knows that people differ on opinion regarding the recreational value of cyclobenzaprine and other skeletal muscle relaxants, but he had a great time on it. In fact he isn't taking it regularly because he's afraid it will mess him up too much to do his work, and his neck is a lot better now. If SWIY has the opportunity to combine a benzo with cyclobenzaprine SWIM highly recommends it. SWIM's drug tolerance is usually abnormally high, even to new medication, so had the meds been taken without the other he wouldn't feel much more than a therapeutic effect. However the combination seems to be quite potent so exercise caution if SWIY decides to combine the two.

Swim's heard that cyclobenzaprine (When you take it's, it's called "Cycling" tehehehe), it either works with you or it doesn't. Personally Swim's cat had taken up to 50mg with only being sleepy, and dry mouth (anti-cholinergic action, methinks). Never ran an assay with a benzo, though, so I can't say as to the synergy. Some people just love it. Clonazepam and many other benzos already act as a muscle relaxant, so there might be extra-additive effect.
Strange though, Swim's never, ever gotten the effects some others describe, at much lower doses, too. Swim has always found this confusing, as he'll generally be able to at least relate to what others psychopharmacologically describe. not this though...

This other swim just had his first cyclobenzaprine experience today.
A quick fact about swim: whenever he scores *anything* he feels the need to give it a try, as soon as possible (if at all possible).
Swim is quite experienced with carisoprodol and always had a fun, relaxing time. Swim took one 10mg cyclobenzaprine very early into the work day.
Wow.
Maybe it was just a simple underestimating of the drug, but swim became *too* relaxed and had to leave work early. It was a good thing that swim had a swell excuse--dancing and fucking the whole night before.
OK, that was a shitty excuse, but swim was free to go and almost passed out while watching Kentucky Fried Movie.
Swim plans on saving the rest for a certain music festival next week. He reckons these cyclobenzaprines will work wonders in helping swim sleep after a long, hot day of dancing and tripping/rolling/etc.
