Flexeril...first time...horrible stuff

OverDriven said:
I've read over and over that Flexeril has no recreational use. There were a few reports on Erowid that were positive, and I had a few that had been laying around for months. Being someone who has to try everything once, I crushed 2 of them up, added a little water, and swallowed it down. Total dose was 20 mg.

About 10 minutes in, I started to get a headache. This grew till around the 20 minute mark, then suddenly went away. At this point I was feeling a little relaxed, but nothing major. I went to take a shower thinking that the relaxing feeling of the shower in combination with the muscle relaxer might feel nice.

While in the shower, I did feel a little bit of a head change. I felt a bit dreamy and everything seemed a little surreal. Nothing great, and not what I would call a positive effect or a high. After the shower, I got dressed and sat down at the computer to read over a few different forums. At this point a certain laziness set in that made me feel like I just couldn't move. I fell asleep for maybe 10 minutes while sitting there. I was just incredibly tired and I lacked motivation to move an inch. I had told my girlfriend that I would be driving over to her place that evening, so eventually I built up enough motivation to move. I got in the car and was not feeling fucked up at all really, just kinda relaxed and very tired. No problems driving.

I got to my girlfriends place in about 20 minutes. At this point it all hit me. I thought that was kind of strange since I had taken the dose more than an hour ago. I got so tired I basically became a walking zombie. If I sat down for more than 2 minutes, I was out like a light. I was absolutely glued to the reclining chair I sat down in. This stuff redefines the meaning of couchlock. I sat in that chair going in and out of sleep for about 4 hours. I would wake up here and there, and I had no idea what was really going on when I did wake up. It was like I took some serious sleeping pills. I would always fall back asleep within minutes, if not seconds. There was one strange effect I noticed. It was like restless leg syndrome, but it was in my arms. It was really wierd, and was responsible for waking me up several times. I just got this intense antsy feeling in my arms and had to move them. Eventually I went to bed when my girlfriend basically had to drag me out of the chair. I slept all night, and am feeling alot better this morning.

So I guess I just re-confirmed what everyone else on this forum has said. This stuff is pretty nasty. Stay away unless you are trying to get 12+ hours of sleep or seriously enjoy feeling like a narcoleptic.

I can do 9 at a time. Tolerance builds quick. Hard to OD on, at least for me.

weird. i was able to use like 5mgs or so for months on end with pretty strong effects... didn't make me sick. just felt like a downer.. just used it as a sleeping pill for a bit. felt enjoyable to wake up from and smoke weed cause a little bit of weird withdrawl hit from dosing the flexeral several hours before.. idk how long that stuff lasts but like 7-10 hours after taking it i would feel pretty good. no issues with heavy tolerance...

i think i was prescribed twenty mg pills. can't remember. never even took a full pill at once... to test them out i took a half of one and had a beer and just passed out for a long period of time. didn't like it. only took less than a quarter of a pill after that and no beer and worked fine... doesn't help for the issues with my muscle damage that they prescribed them for though. they were supposed to stop these pins and needle sensations i get from my back being injured and it doesn't work at all. i just used as a sleeping pill.

i'm pretty sure that might've been what happened to me when i'd wake up like 6 hours after taking it to go to work.. i smoked weed and it was kind of trippy feeling to me, but definitely felt dirty. i managed to enjoy it a bit with the weed.

do you remember what dose you took to raise you heart? i wouldn't be surprised if i were just passed out with a really high heart rate getting low quality sleep when i was using it. felt better than OTC sleeping pills though.

I took 2 pills i forget the dose. Flexeril is just a tricyclic anyway
 
Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) worked great for muscle issues in spine for about 3 weeks to a month then just stopped working completely.
There are others that experienced the same phenom so not just my experience.
 
Another trashy shittyass drug that does nothing for me. It's a muscle relaxant (so they say) It does nothing "relaxing to me at all but gives me headaches and makes my bones ache terribly. I can't wait for that shit to get out of my bloodstream.
 
I have MS and have tried almost all muscle relaxers and this one did nothing. Baclofen works better but no high at all

I wouldnt mind trying baclofen for my trigeminal neuralgia but most docs here dont seem to like it for some reason. I was told its usually prescribed by neurologists
