Good combination for musculoskeletal pain. Tylenol 3 might constipate you a little. The only caution is that the combination might make you VERY sleepy. Be careful about driving, etc., until you know you your body reacts.

Well it depends on how much you take and how your body responds to it. If your able to function with both individually more than likely you will be ok. But if both make you woozy then it could be sketchy. Ones a strong CNS depressant, the other a muscle relaxer. Could take away your ability to breath, or it may not. May just put you to sleep without consequence. What I always recommend is ask your Dr. He knows your medical history and will be able to give sound advise.

Flexeril is a muscle relaxer, and Tylenol an analgesic (for pain), antipyretic (fever reducer). Your pharmacist is the most reliable source of info regarding drug interactions.

Laura:please be CAREFUL!!I have been in an addiction program for 8yrs,after getting hooked on codeine,then mixed the Flexeril,and yes,they work maybe TOO well.Im in Toronto Canada,so I am not sure where you can get support from,but 3months of the same combo,I didnt know I was a possible addict.Same as HEROIN,Morphine,your case,Codeine,can cause physical addiction in a very short time.If I could go back in time,...no, but I can Warn youat least.Eddie/67

Yes they can be taken together but be careful and do not drive on them.
They are used in combination for people with fibromyalgia. They help but nothing cures it.
Until you take them a few times just be sure to stay home and see how you feel. They make some people sick tho their stomach or constipated or very sleepy.

Please Don't!
Read my page for the reason and alternatives. Not trying to take the place of the doctor, just letting you know he does not know nutrition or is he getting paid to actually heal the body.
