What Is The Alternative Medication For Cyclobenzaprine For Back Pain?
My doctor prescribed my cyclobenzaprine 10 mg for night time back pain relief and they make me so tired all the next day till like 2pm is there a different pill that still kills my back pain at night and doesnt make me so sleepy the next day? I have a torn trap muscle and he also prescribed me hydrocodone and diclofenac sodium for day use.

Most of the muscle relaxing drugs causes sleepiness . I would recommend you Myoril. This drug has 8 mg thioquest salt . It is least sleepy as compared to other drugs but very effective. You can also apply diclofenec gel, take warm shower and avoid bending forward.
