I was on Flexeril for a while and it helped me a lot but I went through two days of withdrawl. Defiantely taper off when you go off them..I didnt know and I was sick for two days. I thought it was the flu or something and then I found out afterward it was withdrawl. Theres certainly worse things and Fleril helped me. It just would have been easier if the prescribing doctor or the pharmacist owuld have mentioned not to stop all at once...
