Does cyclobenzaprine help sciatica?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not really: It is an alleged muscle relaxant but it hads properties that result in sedation. I would imagine that if your sciatica disturbs your sleep pattern it might help you to sleep. Otherwise it has no healing effect that will make the sciatica better, sooner

Muscle relaxant: May help briefly. Any muscle relaxant will never help long term, suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist that can address your issues appropriately.
