Baclofen & Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl): Hello. No reason to take the two of these together- too sedating. Both work on your muscles so decide which one works best for you and stick to that one.

Possible BUT: Both drugs can promote drowsiness and dizziness, and together may result in difficult function. If used together might need to carefully titrate doses to tolerance. Work closely with your doctor.
