Question/Comment:
It does tend to make me drowsy, so I only take it at night, where it doesn't bother others and they are able to take it three times a day.

it does work for a short time but the body does build up a resistance to it leaving you to have to increase the dosage after a certain period of time

Question/Comment:
whenever you start a new medicine, make sure you know how you will react to it before driving etc...I know of a lot of people who said that they get real drowsy when taking it. It does not have that effect on me unless I haven't eaten and it's close to bed time.

Question/Comment:
Make sure you take flexeril at least 2 hours before going to bed to take effect, also do not take very late or you will experience drowsiness and sleepiness the next day.
