Mixing alcohol with Flexeril can be deadly for the person, who may become sleepy and go into convulsions. Sometimes it may even lead to a coma. Mixing alcohol and muscle relaxers usually produces less severe consequences, but the potential is just as high as mixing flexeril and alcohol. Doctors urge people not to mix the two medicines because they have different targets in the brain. This makes it hard to determine which caused what effect – if one causes sleepiness or further intoxication.

What is the effect of consuming this?

Alcohol and Flexeril slow down the functioning of the central nervous system. This can also cause dizziness as well as blurred vision. The longer one drinks and takes Flexeril, the more severe the effect. Furthermore, mixing alcohol with these drugs can result in more serious respiratory problems:

1. Rate at which one becomes unconscious

Flexeril is a muscle relaxant that occurs in doctors’ offices with alarming regularity, but rarely do we hear about it being consumed by the general public. According to research, this drug is one of the most widely abused muscle relaxants on the market today. It is also one of the most dangerous and addictive. This is the reason why it is banned in many countries.

2. Alcohol may make your breathing difficult

This is because Flexeril targets the central nervous system, and alcohol targets the respiratory system. This makes it hard to tell which one is causing what effect, making it harder to tell if one of the drugs is causing respiratory problems. This makes it imperative that while taking Flexeril and drinking alcohol, you should never drive or participate in any other activities where reaction times count.

3. Alcohol may cause you to sleep

Flexeril causes tiredness, which alcohol magnifies. As a result, the person may fall asleep unaware that they are intoxicated. Furthermore, they may vomit and choke on their vomit because of the muscle relaxant effect of Flexeril. This can be fatal.

4. Alcohol may cause dizziness and blurred vision

This is also due to the effect of Flexeril on the central nervous system. Dizziness is a common side effect, as well as blurred vision. This can lead to accidents, especially when driving. The person using Flexeril could end up in an accident, which would have been avoided if they had not been drinking and taking Flexeril simultaneously.
