What Causes Stomachache After Taking Flexeril?
Just got new prescription flexeril and take Wellbutrin xl. Only took flexeril once this morning and had bad stomach ache a few hours later. Ate lunch with second dose and stomach pain much worse. The site says serious interactions between these drugs. I won t take the flexeril anymore but should I be concerned about stomach pain. It is like ulcer type pain not like sick stomach

Hello,
From the available description there is good possibility that you developed drug induced gastritis due to Flexeril. The side effect is well known and mostly of mild intensity. The medication can be continued with use of proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec) if absolutely necessary.
I hope this answers you. Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
