What's the difference between cyclobenzaprine and amitriptyline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very different uses: But similar chemical structures. Both a tricyclic compounds. One is mostly used as a muscle relaxant - cyclobenzaprine(Flexeril). The other serves many different purposes from an antidepressant, to insomnia medication to headache prevention.
