Question about meds and interstim

[kalecolbe12]

Hi all...was wondering how many people are taking cyclobenzaprine(Flexeril) and how long,dosage etc....also has anyone had an interstim implanted?

Hi, I have taken Flexeril. Didn't seem to do a whole lot, but I found I was depressed and crying everyday. Took for a long time, like 6 months. Had to wean off, was easy. No bad side effects. This was after my first back surgery, a 360 lumbar fusion. My pain management Dr installed a back stimulator. It does take your mind off back pain, but it was still there. When I had my 2nd back surgery (I have degenerative Disc Disease), the Dr took it out because it was in his way. Did not notice the difference. Just my experience. Best of luck! Not all patients have the same reaction. Could very well work for you.
