Many people mistake it for a controlled substance. However, medical experts say this is untrue, as the prescription medication is not classified as a controlled substance by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-cyclobenzaprine\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is cyclobenzaprine?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyclobenzaprine is a prescription drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce muscle spasms that may be caused by injuries or other acute conditions. It can help provide short-term relief for symptoms such as pain, tenderness, and discomfort. Cyclobenzaprine is believed to work by calming the nervous system, which helps relax overly active muscles without affecting their normal function. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s an effective drug, it\u2019s recommended to be used alongside rest and<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">physical therapy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyclobenzaprine belongs to a class of drugs known as muscle relaxants or central nervous system (CNS) depressants. \u201cIt is also chemically similar to a certain class of antidepressants known as tricyclic antidepressants, and thus has the ability to cause side effects that are similar to that class of medications (i.e., sedation, dry mouth and eyes, difficulty urinating, and increased heart rate),\u201d says Allison Hinkle, PharmD, CPH, the clinical pharmacy manager at HCA Florida Highlands Hospital in Sebring, Florida.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-cyclobenzaprine-a-controlled-substance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is cyclobenzaprine a controlled substance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Claudia Cometa, PharmD, executive healthcare consultant and owner of Peace Advocacy Group of Clearwater, Florida, cyclobenzaprine is not considered a controlled substance. \u201cIt is not a controlled substance in the United States by the DEA,\u201d she says. The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) reports that cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov\/drug_chem_info\/cyclobenzaprine.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">approved for use in the United States<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 5, 7.5, and 10 milligrams (mg) tablets intended for short-term (two to three weeks) oral administration. It is not currently controlled under the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dea.gov\/drug-information\/csa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Controlled Substances Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, although the government is aware that the prescription drug is misused or abused in many cases, leading to severe medical complications and even death in some instances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although cyclobenzaprine is not legally deemed a controlled substance in the United States, Dr. Hinkle says you may need to show some form of government identification to receive the prescription. \u201cThere is no federal law or regulation requiring a form of identification to fill cyclobenzaprine at a pharmacy,\u201d she explains. \u201cHowever, prescription pickup procedures can vary from state to state and pharmacy to pharmacy. For example, some pharmacies require that the person picking up a prescription be at least 18 years of age. It is usually good practice to ask about a pharmacy\u2019s prescription pickup procedure ahead of time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-does-that-mean-for-me\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does that mean for me?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Dr. Cometa, any controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act has the potential to be abused. \u201cThese are medications that can cause psychological and\/or physical dependence as well as have the potential for misuse and overdose,\u201d she explains. \u201cMost controlled substances are sedating, and combining them can result in excessive sedation and possibly shortness of breath. Due to the opioid crisis in America, the prescribing limitations for controlled substances have become increasingly strict. Individual states may propose tighter regulations than what are in place federally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While cyclobenzaprine is not a controlled substance, because of its sedative and relaxing effects, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/americanaddictioncenters.org\/cyclobenzaprine-flexeril-abuse\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it may cause a euphoric effect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (feeling \u201chigh\u201d) for some people. Flexeril can be misused in various ways, such as taking it orally, mixing it with other substances, adding it to alcoholic drinks, or crushing it to snort. Given that cyclobenzaprine is not classified as a controlled substance by the DEA, it can be easier to obtain and misuse or abuse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addictioncenter.com\/antidepressants\/flexeril\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cyclobenzaprine abuse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can include the following:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking cyclobenzaprine much longer than needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a constant need for more of the drug to get the same effects.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spending the majority of the day thinking about cyclobenzaprine, including how to get more of it, the effects it brings, and when to use it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using cyclobenzaprine more than prescribed and being unable to stop.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faking symptoms to get a healthcare provider to write more prescriptions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden negative changes in physical appearance, behavior, and hygiene.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or a loved one is abusing cyclobenzaprine, please seek help by contacting the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samhsa.gov\/find-help\/national-helpline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration\u2019s (SAMHSA) National Helpline<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If cyclobenzaprine continues to be abused in large quantities, it could lead to an overdose.
