Without knowing what muscle relaxer you actually took, it is impossible to check to see if there could be a drug interaction between them. Could you resubmit the question with the actual names of the medication‘s? Good luck.

The concern is whether you took a muscle relaxant that has tricyclic properties such as cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril). If it is cyclobenzaprine then is is not good to take with Prozac since it could potentially lead to a serious but rare condition called Serotonin Syndrome. This syndrome may include symptoms such as confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, etc.
