VerifiedHi,
Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to, and may have actions similar to, the tricyclic antidepressants. These possible effects include central and peripheral anticholinergic actions, a sedative effect, and an increase in heart rate. Hence it is difficult to come off of them quickly. I suggest slowly tapering off. It takes time but if doable. Please don't give up.
