I started taking Flexeril about three months ago for my lower back pain…preparing for my 5th back surgery…I was diagnosed with fibro 19 years ago and have tried a lot of stuff. I find the Flexeril helps a lot with the fibro pain as well. I’m taking a 5mg dose but I can take up to six a day if needed.
Taking one at bedtime help with the ability to not only help me to get to sleep but to stay asleep as well. As far as making me sleepy during the day well most of the time it doesn’t but I never know so I only take it during the day when I am in tons of pain or if I’m not expecting to drive.
Don’t know if I helped…you may want to go with a smaller dose and then you can double up if needed. I don’t know what the 10mg looks like…if it can be split easily…
