What Is The Cause Of Dry Mouth And Dizziness When On Cyclobenzaprine?
hi, I am on mylan cyclobenzaprine for back pain and i feel really crummy right now. i have dry mouth, i feel dizzy and confused. This drug doesnt have any codeine in it does it? and I am diabetic on metformin. and i smoke occasionally but plan to quit.
Thank you for asking! It is a skeletal muscle relaxant and dry mouth and dizziness are its side effects shown in up to 27 % of patients. You can consult your doctor for a dose re schedule or a changein medicine if that is bothering you but almost all relaxants come with this effect. Take care
