Brief Answer:
Flexeril is safe to take, watch for blood pressure

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. Flexeril has no known contraindication with those drugs. You have to remember that it will drop your blood pressure a bit though and might make you shaky at first. Best to take it when you know that you wont be driving or doing anything very strenuous.

Hope this helps. Feel free to follow-up
