Question 2

What would happen if i drink alcohol while on cyclobenzaprine (generic for flexeril)?

Accepted Answer

Combination of Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) and alcohol ( ethanol) may lead to increased risk of CNS depression and psychomotor impairment ( additive effects).Fine motor movements, coordination and balance may be effected significantly. Driving a car or operating a machinery can be very risky. Risk of fall may increase. My recommendations are not to do so.

Question 3

How long should i wait before drinking alcohol after taking flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl)? to be on the safe side, i mean 4-6+ drinks instead of just 1-2 drinks.

Accepted Answer

you should never mix the two together.

every time you do you are taking a chance of complicted dangeroud side effect.

Question 4

Is it ok to drink alcohol 48 hours after taking flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl)?

Accepted Answer

A single dose of flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) will last for about 6hours. You are 48 hours so drinking alcohol should not be an issue - keep in mind alcohol in excess is bad for you.

Question 5

How long should i wait to drink alcohol after taking flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl)?

Accepted Answer

Both can cause drowsiness, & combination can cause severe drowsiness. Usual dose for Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is 3 times a day; so sedation risk less after 8 hours. Ideally should not drink alcohol with medications, especially ones that can cause additive effects.

Question 6

Is it ok to drink beer and take flexeril, (cyclobenzaprine hcl) or should both be spaced out a certain number of hours?

Accepted Answer

I would recommend completely avoiding alcohol and all other sedatives while taking Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl).  The combination of taking the two could be dangerous in the regard of increased drowsiness and sedation. You may also be taking pain medicine, which would also be a complicating factor.  Please avoid all alcohol until you have discussed this with your treating physician.

Question 7

If half-life of flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is 18 hrs, is it ok to drink alcohol after that long? also, i am a rapid acetylator.

Accepted Answer

Drug is still in your body as only 1/2 of the drug is out of your system in 18 hrs. 
Such drugs and alcohol generally do not mix very well.

Question 8

I had two drink the last one around 740.. is it safe to take flexril now?

Accepted Answer

While flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) helps with sleep it should not have a significant additive effect with distant alcohol use

Question 9

If i took one flexaril 10mg last night at 5pm is it ok to drink this evening? i have heard the half life is 18 hours but i don't know what that means.

Accepted Answer

No it is not safe. Half lives are indicative how quickly a drug is eliminated from your body. A drug like Flexeril mixed with alcohol can have increased side effects particularly drowsiness and should not be mixed with alcohol for at least 36 to 48 hours after the last dose of medication and even then everyone may eliminate a drug from their system differently. Be careful

Question 10

How long is flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) active. i have been taken 2x10mg pills at night for issues w/ sleep. i get up at 6:30 but around 8 i can no longer stay awake. wh?

Accepted Answer

You are taking too large of a pdose.  The medication is typically written as 5 or 10 mg three times a day as needed to treat muscle spasm.  You may want to discuss options with your treating physician.
