A member asked:
Since flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is closely related to amitriptyline, does that mean flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) has antidepressant effects?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not on the label: It may but by label that is not the indication. It is like a tri-cyclic antidepressant.

No: Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) and Amitriptylline are not closely related in structure or function.
