Is cyclobenzaprine a opiat?

No it's mot: Muscle relaxer.

Not an Opiate: Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant used for acute muscle spasms many time secondary to injuries and many time prescibed with opiates for that injury. Cyclobenzaprine can cause significant confusional states and sleepiness and these effects are confused with opiate effects, but cyclobenzaprine is a safe muscle relaxant but should use with caution with other benzodiazapines or other sedating med.

No: Cyclobenzaprine is a type of muscle relaxant, and not an opoid medication (narcotic). Because it can affect the way you feel, some people can become psychologically dependent on it if they take a lot over an extended period of time. But it is not a narcotic or opoid medication.

Med question: It is a muscle relaxer. Many patients have been on it and it is probably the most commonly prescribed. I have found it to be very sedating relative to it's effect for most patients and it is not my preferred muscle relaxant. It is not addictive in general, but I have known patients to abuse or overuse muscle relaxers and they can be dangerous especially combined with other sedating chemicals.
