A member asked:

Is it safe to take more than 40 mg (4 pills) of cyclobenzaprine?

Dr. Alexander Mauskop answered

Specializes in Neurology

It is better avoided: The maximum recommended dose is 30 mg a day, so it is better to avoid taking more than 40 mg since a high dose can cause a variety of side effects, such as drowsiness and rapid heart beat (tachycardia).
