Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello There

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that cyclobenzeprine itself is a cause of mild disorientation but if you are feeling he is more forgetful then you need to consult a neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hopefully this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
