default
Posted on Fri, 29 Apr 2016
Question: Yes, I just asked if it is ok to take cyclobenzaprine. I saw on line that it was also called diazepam which is valium and I'm not supposed to take it. Is it ok to take the cyclobenzaprine? I have muscle spazms it was prescribed for but don't want to violate my court order. I could be drugged tested and need to know.

Brief Answer:
cyclobenzaprine is not diazepam

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned that your cyclobenzaprine is similar to diazepam. The cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxer and will help with the muscle spasms. It is not a benzodiazepine and will not react in a drug test. So you can use the cyclobenzaprine without worries about failing a urine drug screen
