Any drug, or thing for that matter can be addictive. There are two levels of addiction in my opinion...there are the drugs that are chemically addictive, meaning that the brain and body itself can become addicted and that when you stop taking the drug you experience physical withdrawal symptoms (alcohol, cocaine, some narcotics are all good examples). Then there is everything else...not addictive in that level, but if you have an addictive personality and you take it often enough, you mind becomes addicted thinking you can't go without it...even though your body can. Does this make any sense?
No, it is not addictive.
No worries!
no it shouldnt be addictive because its not a narcotic.. it does helf you sleep and make your mucles feelbeter butn no addictions.. they give them to 14 year old kids so they wouldnt do that too a kid
Flexeril is not addictive. Even though some drugs are non narcotic, they can be abused. The muscle relaxant Soma is not narcotic, however it is a drug that is targeted for abuse. Taking it in the a.m. would probably be the best bet, being that is when the most stiffness occurs, based on my personal experience.
