Here are cites for the Flexeril

Quote:
FLEXERIL should be used only for short periods (up to two or three weeks) because adequate evidence of effectiveness for more prolonged use is not available and because muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions is generally of short duration and specific therapy for longer periods is seldom warranted.
Found at this link: http://www.rxlist.com/flexeril-drug.htm

This link also say you really shouldn't take it for more than 3 weeks. http://www.medicinenet.com/cyclobenz...al/article.htm

Quote:
Flexeril should be used only for short periods (no more than 3 weeks). Since the type of injury that Flexeril treats should improve in a few weeks, there is no reason to use it for a longer period.

Those are all the ones I've found. I also have a PDR book here and it says the same thing in it too.

Hugs,

Karen
