I recently visited my MD with neck, shoulder and arm muscles pain. I now have prescriptions for Meloxicam, cyclobenzaprine and Hydroco/Acetamin. 1st night took the Hydroco/Acetamin.7.5-325mg kept me awake most of night. It seemed to numb the pain some, but I need sleep. I took the cyclobenzaprine 10 mgbefore going to work it makes me drowsy so I decided to not take during working hours even though it says 3 times a day as needed.( My mistake since Dr. knows I work every day I thought that was the one I was to take while at work. I have just taken the 1st Meloxicam 15mg about 9 p.m. it's dosage is 1/2 to 1 tablet by mouth as needed.
Now I need to know can or should I go ahead and take 1 cyclobenzaprine before I go to bed so I can finally get some sleep or should I just go with the Meloxicam and see what it does?
