Brief Answer:
Yes, you can use them

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns.

Both drugs are generally safe to be taken together in a case of concussion but you should except side effects of dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth that can occur in 10% of the cases. So, it is better that you don't engage in activities that require concentration as driving or using a machinery.

I hope I answered your question.
Regards

Tylenol I knew was ok but the flexeril was questionable as I didn't know if it could have adverse effect with concussion and brain fog and recovery. It does help muscles and tension to relax just didn't know. Thank you very much!
