crushing flexeril

I have had multiple shoulder surgeries and have never been prescibed Flexeril for any of my shoulder problems. Flexeril is a muscle relaxer. It should not be crushed. YOU SHOULD NOT CRUSH ANY PILLS! As far as it being addicting, I would say almost anything could be addictive for some people. You can get addicted to nasal spray.

Your friend should seek some help as his behavior is that of someone that abuses prescription drugs.

How old is your friend if you don't mind me asking?

Flexeril can be addicting if abused and it's abused by taking too much of it at once - which is what your friend is doing by crushing it and taking it. When its treated this way it can result in kind of mellow pleasurable feelings - nothing like the 'highs' produced by some drugs - but still with the potential for abuse. A street drug called 'mellow yellow' is essentially flexeril (cyclobenzaprine).

Besides the problem of getting 'addicted' to the pleasurable feelings produced by taking too much Flexeril the drug has the added problem of being a central nervous system depressant. This means that taking too much of it can make you drowsy, depress your heart and breathing rate, etc. - sometimes with alarming consequences. This is why it should only be taken in the dose given and never combined with other central nervous system depressants such as alcohol.

Crushing drugs really is a no no. They should be taken in the dose and the means prescribed.

 Flexeril is usually taken only for brief periods. Hopefully your friends shoulder pain will  improve and his mode of taking Flexeril will no longer be a problem. Good luck
