Answer 1

Did you take all 10 at one time?  Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) is a skeletal muscle relaxant.  The normal dosage is either 5mg or 10mg for one pill (small, round, yellow pill).  You should not take more than 30mg in a single day.  These should not be habit forming if you only took them one time.  All muscle relaxers cause drowsiness (make you feel tired).  You should be very careful as they can slow or possibly stop your breathing.

Overdose symptoms may include drowsiness, fast heartbeat, tremors or shaking, slurred speech, confusion, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations (seeing things), chest pain, or seizure (convulsions).  You should seek medical attention if you experience any of these side effects.

You should also not take medications prescribed to someone else.
