"I've had really bad back pain since an injury back in 2014. I fell and injured my L4, L5, and S1. I've had pain off and on throughout then and now, but for the past 2-3 months, I've been catching hell with this excruciating pain. It's been hard to get in and out of bed, move around, sit up, etc. I went to my PCP five days ago, and she prescribed me cyclobenzaprine. I'm so grateful that she did. I take 10mg at night just before bed. I have never slept so well. I wake up feeling a lot less pained. I am in a much better mood now. The difference is like night and day. I have been able to focus more at work, and I'm able to get much more work done around the house. This med has definitely been a game-changer for me. It DOES make you sleep, so it might be best to take it before you go to bed. Other than that, there's nothing negative I can say about my experience."

"Years ago, being a sign-man, standing around doing road work, it ended up hurting people's backs. A lot of people I knew were taking cyclobenzaprine. One day my back was killing me, and against my better judgment I took a 10mg tablet. It was given to me. Wow, my back stopped hurting and I lay down in what should be an uncomfortable position, but I felt nothing. I was dizzy from 10mg, that lasted until the next day. I saw how powerful it was. Only take when and as prescribed! I exercised and changed some habits. NSAIDs don't work for me, but I don't need Cyclobenzaprine. On a side note, years later, someone I knew broke their back. They were given many medications. They said Cyclobenzaprine helped with the pain the most, more than opiates or NSAIDs. It serves a very good purpose when used correctly. It was a real lifesaver for my friend with the broken back. (Car accident)"
