Does flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) help with restless leg syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May help but....: Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is not used for rls. That being said, if you have other muscle relaxant issues, Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) may help. As monotherapy it likely won't completely resolve. If you truly have rls, the best treatment option would be using a dopaminergic agonist (pramipexole or ropinirole.) see a sleep medicine specialist and he/she can help determine if you truly have rls, and treat correctly.
