I also felt like I was floating in a cloud had numdness in my legs and had bad taste in my mouth and was confused at times. All this went away after I stopped taking it.I only took it for 2 or 3 weeks. thank you for your help
Brief Answer:
Symptoms are related to interaction between cyclobenzaprine and tramadol.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Cyclobenzaprine itself can cause as side effects dizziness, difficulty in concentration,tiredness.
Cyclobenzaprine should not be combined with Tramadol because of the interaction that these medications have.
They increase serotonin levels.
This combination can cause :
-emotional liability,
-euphoria,
-dizziness,
-amnesia and many other side effects.
So,I think that your symptoms are related to the interaction of these medications.
I strongly recommend you not to take them together.
Hope my answer was helpful.
