Can you mix vicodin and flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl)?

Ask your physician: It is always best to ask your physician prescribing your medications about safety and ability to take concurrent medications. They are familiar with your personal medical history and issues.

Not a good idea: Vicodin is an opiate, used for pain. Causes sedation and resiratory depression and has addiction potential. Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is a muscle relaxant, used to treat muscle spasm and pain. It may add to the respiratory depression by relaxing respiratory muscle, with increased risk of death. Both vicodin and Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) has sedation and may effect the balance and coordination.
