Is it harmful to take muscle relaxers long term? I'm currently taking Flexeril a!


Question:

Is it harmful to take muscle relaxers long term? I'm currently taking Flexeril and Zanaflex for painful knots.


Answers:

Too much of taking anything COULD be harmful...could be is the operative word here.
However, sometimes in a situation like this, you have to choose the lesser of two evils...would it be more harmful to you if you stopped taking these muscle relaxers? Or would it be more harmful to you if you continued taking them?
I guess you would have to decide how much you could endure the suffering of painful muscles as opposed to taking the medicine long term and the side effects of that.
