Adrenaline effect: This medication is used as a muscle relaxant. Up to 10 % people taking it can feel nervousness. This may be due to its effect on the body's adrenaline levels. Adrenaline is the chemical involved in "fight or flight" response. I guess if you can tolerate this side effect, it will eventually get less with time. You should not "overdose" if you take the medication as it is indicated or prescribed.

Stop using it: Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve transmission to the brain. Tremors are a dangerous side effect of this medication and if you experience them you should stop taking this medication immediately. With or without a prescription you can definitely overdose on this medication. Prescription drugs Should NEVER be taken with out a prescription.
